Goodbye Hollywood Lyrics

I've been swallowed up, spat out and kicked around
you really know where you stand, when it all comes down
They tried to clean me up, while they cleaned me out
They try to take what they can, but it all comes round

I never needed any one until I crashed into the sun

So goodbye Hollywood
You it just don't fit me like it should
Now I’ve found a place to call my own
I'm coming home

Life can build you up, just to knock you down
It takes a lot more than red, yeah to paint this town

I never needed any one until I crashed into the sun

So Goodbye Hollywood
You it just don't fit me like it should
Now I’ve found a place to call my own
I'm coming home

I feel my time has come, 'n I'm not the only one
I feel a time for a change, in a world come undone
You try and pull me in, I will push you out
You try to stop me you know I can scream 'n shout

So Goodbye Hollywood
Your sweet success don't taste that good
Now I’ve found a place to call my own
Yeah Yeah

Goodbye Hollywood
Goodbye Hollywood
Now I’ve found a place to call my own

So Goodbye Hollywood
I just don't need you like they said I would
Now I’ve found a place to call my own
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

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.

i heard an interview on the radio with chris, and he was talking about how this album (Shaka Rock) was really back to basics without spending big money for success eg. with Shine On when it turned out to be a flop. So im guessing Goodbye Hollywood is kind of a statement from Jet about how they're going back to the garage so to speak - "So Goodbye Hollywood,Your sweet success don't taste that good, Now I've found a place to call my own" However only 2 songs from the album were recorded in Australia so kinda makes me wonder what they're on about.

Whoa what? Shine On was a flop? I'm hoping that you only mean it didn't sell well, in which case I don't know why it sold so little, as I loved Shine On as much as I loved Get Born. I'm liking this album as well so far. Looks like Jet is 3 for 3 in my book :D
