Blame you Hollywood,
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In a cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some,
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.
They all would have been killed
In the sound of music,
They would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth.
She never would have made it to shore,
The little mermaid. He would have married a whore
From a wealthy family, after all he was royalty.
Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
Till her hands grew old and tired,
And nobody would look away,
That's the way it goes today.
I blame you Hollywood,
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In this cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
Like me and you.
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In a cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some,
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.
They all would have been killed
In the sound of music,
They would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth.
She never would have made it to shore,
The little mermaid. He would have married a whore
From a wealthy family, after all he was royalty.
Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
Till her hands grew old and tired,
And nobody would look away,
That's the way it goes today.
I blame you Hollywood,
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl,
In this cruel world.
Because life's not a happy ending,
I'm sure there is some
Like Johnny and June,
And maybe other people too.
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
And maybe other people too
Like me and you.

haha.
its a beautiful song.
and so true.
but the last line is the best, its like she knows its probably never going to happen, but she has a secret hope that there will be a happy ending for her.
But even as a grown adult (Well 18, legally I'm an adult) I think I click with the duo's opinion of clinging onto the notion of a "happy ending"...
Unfortunately, I don't think everyone will get that oppportunity.
It's a great song, but it bugs me whenever I hear that part, as apparently they HAVE the happy life, but who are they?
thanks.
love that line
I love this song!
