‘“Written 4 a turn coat who, after a quick brush with success, lost themselves in a haze of wine, women and pills,” sniped the liner notes to Crystal Ball, the 1998 outtakes collection that debuted this stinging track. (It’s widely believed the song was a rebuke of St. Paul Peterson, lead singer for...
[Refrain]
This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!
[Verse 1]
Hollyrock ain't all it seems (Lordy)
Don't get to serious, it's just a dream
Don't forget your friends, they're all you have got (Lordy)
Listen to the story of a man I am not
Party all night, hanging out
In the streets more than I be at home
I take a pill to wipe away my doubts
But a pill can't cure my being alone
Vodka and seven straight to my brain
Put me under false impressions, hide all my pain
Somebody help me, I'm losing control
[Refrain]
This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!
[Verse 2]
Everybody got the big dreams (Hey Lordy)
But nobody got the bucks
Love and trust will help you make it in a world (Everybody)
Where there ain't no love, ain't no love
Dig
A man came up to me, smile in his eyes
He told me I was a saint
So I'm quitting my friends much to their surprise
I can't live up to the picture that they paint
Ah somebody help me, I'm losing control (Ow!)
[Refrain]
Guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la (Sucker)
Got to drive
(It's just a dream)
Look out
Do you want to party?
Do want a pill?
How about a false impression?
(Thrills, spills, chills)
[Refrain]
This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh!
[Verse 3]
Ow! Yeah
Up a little bit
(Dream factory, oh)
Party all night, hang up on the side, I said "Uh"
(Do you wanna party?)
I can't make up my mind
(How about a false impression?)
I can't seem to live with no pictures (Thrills, spills, chills)
Somebody got to help me! (Just a sucker)
I'm losing control (Just a sucker)
Guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!
[Outro]
Guess I'm just a sucker in the dream factory, oh!
(Just a sucker, motherfucker!)
