Hollywood Lyrics

Credit cards
Expensive cars
Beggers in the street
Glitter sprinkled with some pain from your plastic surgery
Dreams are made to set us free
Dreams are born and we believe
And I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why

CHORUS
This is life
I won't throw it away
On the hills of Hollywood
I am here to stay
I told you once before and I won't tell you again
On the hills of Hollywood I'll be here till the end

This town can be so fake
Made of silicone
Being bored is what you hate
Movie stars and platinum teens
Booty Queens and Drama Kings
Dreams are made to set us free
Dreams are born and we believe
And I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why

CHORUS

This is a P.S.A.
Brought to you by the citizens of Hollywood
If you think you can live the dream of being who you really want
To be
Nothing in this town comes easy
But this town has it all

CHORUS X2

And I'll be here till the end.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's obviously a song about Hollywood. I live in Hollywood, and I can honestly say that every word of this song is absolutely true. There's something about this place...it's dirty and sleazy and full of panhandlers and prostitutes and crackheads. But for some reason, millions of people come here with big dreams, and most of those dreams get crushed, but we stay here anyway, hanging onto that last bit of hope that someday it will be different, someday our dreams will come true because we're in Hollywood. "I'll be here till the end." That line pretty much sums it up.
