Hollywood Lyrics

Somebody told me Hollywood was slowly burning
So I went with my own eyes to see
And I landed in places
Where the makeup on the faces
Was telling stories in color TV
But it’s hard to believe you can find what you’re looking for anymore

Somebody told me not to spend it all on Sunday
So I went with my own eyes to see
That the doors had stayed open
For praying and hoping
Come and get you share if you have a care
Oh no, but it’s hard to believe that you can find what you’re looking for anymore

And the way that I make is my own
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for

I heard a lot of talk about a revolution
So I went with my own eyes to see
I’m confused by the cause
Such expensive applause
Pays for so many problems I see
But it’s hard to believe you can find what you’re looking for, oh no

And the way that I make is my own
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for

Somebody told me Hollywood was slowly burning
So I went with my own eyes to see
And I landed in places
Where the makeup on the faces
Was telling stories in color TV
But it’s hard to believe you can find what you’re looking for anymore

Somebody told me not to spend it all on Sunday
So I went with my own eyes to see
That the doors had stayed open
For praying and hoping
Come and get you share if you have a care
Oh no, but it’s hard to believe that you can find what you’re looking for anymore

And the way that I make is my own
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for

I heard a lot of talk about a revolution
So I went with my own eyes to see
I’m confused by the cause
Such expensive applause
Pays for so many problems I see
But it’s hard to believe you can find what you’re looking for, oh no

And the way that I make is my own
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for
And it’s hard to know how to get home
But I know what I’m in for

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.
