Could you be a teenage idol
Could you be a movie star
When I turn on my TV
Will you smile and wave at me
Tellin' Oprah who you are is strange
So you want to be a rock star
With blue eyed bunny's in your bed
Well remember when you're rich that you sold yourself for this
You'll be famous 'cause you're dead

So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself

I don't want to take you dancing
When you're dancing with the world
Well you can flash your caviar and your million dollar car
I don't need that kind of girl
But you could be that next sensation
Or will you set the latest style
You don't need a catchy song
'Cause the kids will sing along
When you sell it with a smile

So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself

So don't fly higher, for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself
Keep it on your head Hollywood is dead

Well you can do the mighty tango
You can strut your little thing
You can swing from vine to vine
While the kiddies wait in line
With the money in their hands

But if you get to California
Save a piece of gold for me
If it's the only thing you'll save
Then I'll bet you'll never wave when I watch you on TV

So don't go higher for desire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead you can find it in yourself

So don't fly higher, for your fire
Put it in your head
Baby Hollywood is dead
You can find it in yourself

Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you
You can find it in yourself
Love what is true and the world will come to you
You can find it in yourself

No no no no no
Keep it in your head, Hollywood is dead
Come, come Hollywood is dead babe woo hoo
Oh Hollywood is dead yeah yeah
Oh Hollywood is dead babe woo hoo
Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you
Hollywood is dead, get it in your head, Hollywood is dead
