Hollywood Lyrics

[Intro]
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

[Verse 1]
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tan, 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"
A dive on vine

[Verse 2]
Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK
Thirty-nine years old with a mile-high sheen
Trying to stimulate a mind
That is slowly starting to decay

[Pre-Chorus]
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey"

[Chorus]
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, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

[Verse 3]
A fat 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"

[Pre-Chorus]
Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden light

[Chorus]
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, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

[Bridge]
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream

[Chorus]
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, ooh-hoo
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

What did MARINA say about "Hollywood"?

“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.”
