What is Hollywood?
Babylon
The Whore Of Babylon
Real and surreal
False tears and false laughter
Silver screen gods
Glowing on young lovers
Who neck and pet heavy
In the dark cinema
Forgetting the plot
If there ever was one
What is Hollywood?
Fresh out of film school in Buttfuck Idaho
Kick and scratch and screw your way to the top
What do you really want?
Pay your dues
Schmooze the boss, kiss his ass
Follow the rules
Bend them but don,t break them
Life is not a movie
Everyone lies in the end
Good guys lose
And love does not conquer all
What is Hollywood?
Plastic made up faces
Melting golden oldies
Muscle rippling youth
Posing on Venice Beach
the beautiful people
From a mid west deli
A Lana Turner Schwab,s story
Clever skills don,t count
Casablanca on a Sunset Boulevard
"I,m ready for my scene, Mr. DeMille"
Heroes and anti heroes
Dumb blonde in a 44 bra
Luscious lips
Wiggling hips
Great ass
Rocky One to
Rocky sixty
No-one saw the inbetween fights
Except the money men
With green dollar sign eyes
Pull their arm
Out pours money
Cold hearts, sweating palms
Ill fitting rugs on prune faces
Warm casting couches and
Directors shouting orders
To reflect life or
Deflect life
It,s the year of realism
But tone it down
Think of the box office
Time for an Oscar
Pay the right people
Snort the right Charlie
Massage the right egos
It is success
It is excess
It is sexcess
What is Hollywood?
No seasons
Sun fresh faces sliced and diced and liposuctioned
Great money for
Rodeo Drive
Gucci,Armani, Versace and Rolex
Rich man with blonde arm candy
Having affair with personal trainer
Leaving no stern untoned
Hollywood is a state of mind;
