'Hollywood' Lyrics

American queen is the American dream 
American queen is the American dream
She is a Polish girl in America  

Tall, tanned, hot, blonde called Anya I asked her, 
"Why would you wanna be a hollywood wife?"
"Because, I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine"
You do anything for a dime 

Looking for the golden lie
 

Hollywood infected your brain  
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh oh 
 Living in a movie scene 
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America 

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
 
I fight security making plays for me 

 Soon as I touch down in old L.A.  
He said, "Oh my god, you look just like Shakira!  
No no, you're Catherine Zeta" 
Actually, my name's Marina
 
Your mind is just like mine  

All filled up with things benign 
You're looking for the golden lie
Hollywood infected your brain  

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh oh 
I've been living in a movie scene  
Puking American dreams, oh, oh 
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America  

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
 
American dream is the American queen 

American queen is the American dream  
Is the American dream
 

Hollywood infected your brain  
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh oh 
I've been living in a movie scene 
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
 
Hollywood infected your brain  

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh oh 
I've been living in a movie scene 
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America  

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

The artist quoted this about the lyrics:
"That track is a sarcastic and cynical take on everything that's commercial about America. I love the country and people dearly and can't wait to tour there but I hate the way it brainwashes you. I am seduced by its pop culture but I don't want my brain to be infected."
