[Chorus]
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
Think you've taught me all I need to know
But you don't fool me
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
Think you've taught me all I need to know
But you don't fool me
[Verse 1]
Now people used to talk about you
With an awe reserved for nowhere else
Now you're just a shadow of your former self
If I start playing my role
Maybe I could go far
And you'd make me a star
But terms I have to pay
Would be yours not mine
'Cause you're the cooler where the sun always shines
[Chorus]
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
Think you've taught me all I need to know
But you don't fool me
[Verse 2]
Glitterland I've faced you head on
Your morale is so weak
But your dreams are so strong
Dreams confounding both the foolish and the brave
Now I don't see the answers you give
But they gather round you
Looking for clues
You show them how to reap the harvest that they crave
And that's the way you make your masters your slaves
[Chorus]
Tinseltown I've seen the way you blow
But you don't fool me
Think you've taught me all I need to know
But you don't fool me
[Bridge]
You've mastered the art of deception
There's nothing real left behind your show
You may look good but you're not good looking
You can tell me nothing that I want to know
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
Think you've taught me all I need to know
But you don't fool me
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
[Chant]
Glitterland you're just a sham
I'm not gonna be your man
Tinseltown you're just a dream
You're not fooling me
[Rhythm guitar solo]
[Chant]
Tinseltown you're just a sham
I'm not gonna be your man
Glitterland you're just a dream
And you're not fooling me
[Chorus]
Tinseltown I've seen the way you glow
But you don't fool me
Tinseltown you're just a sham
I'm not gonna be your man
Glitterland you're just a dream
You're not fooling me
But you don't fool me
But you don't fool me
