Hollywood Apocalypse
05:16

You were no one when you got here
You’ll be no one when you leave
Johnny coming lately
But no one is deceived
You want to claim the kingdom
But the circus gates are closed
You’re living in nostalgia
For a world you didn’t know
The glitz and glamor faded
A city bought and sold
Some history to dream of
While the corpse is getting cold
Nobody will remember
The days you came and went
Nobody will remember
Who you fucked and what you dreamt
You’re a Hollywood apocalypse
Not quite a shooting star
Twinkle, twinkle little bitch
Just a shadow in bar
Everything you dreamed of
Was dead before you came
Just another born too late
Crawling the walk of fame
All glamour is nostalgia
Tinseltown’s in pain
The legends dead and buried
You can’t dig them up again
The sunset strip is shining
But the scene is in decay
You can keep the dead light flickering
But this dog won’t have it’s day
You are nothing but a shadow
Of the greats already gone
Just a picture of a picture
And someone else’s song
You can chase the ghost of greatness
Down the boulevard of dreams
Standing on the edge of hell
Ignoring all the screams
You can sit on corners dreaming
Of better lays and better days
But the emptiness comes calling
Since you’re living on a grave
Nobody will remember
And it’s just a total shame
Nobody will remember
Where you went and what you made
Hollywood forever
Cemetery streets
Sunset boiling
Everything bleeds
Hollywood burning
The dream is dead
Last fool standing
Until the end

Suicide
04:21
|
|||
Shaking hands and kissing babies
Scandal rocks the evening news
Once the savior of the cities
Now you write their Sunday blues
Hookers, murder and cocaine
Informants, killers, smoking guns
Once they’ve looked into your shadows
Your American dream is fucking done
Locking, loaded and corrupted
Riots, looting, robbery
Fight for freedom and for profit
If you can cut it make it bleed
Mayhem, chaos by design
Secrets, lies, malevolence
Once they see your crumbling kingdom
Your currency is all but spent
Sirens, police and confusion
Prison, media, the end
Front page news marks your disgrace
Suicide around the bend
You’re gonna die…
Keep on rotting in the free world
With your rotten hidden hand
All the money and the power
It won’t help you understand
This court is now in session
…and we promise you the noose
All of the voices in your head
They don’t intend to lose

Violence in the streets
Violence in the blood
Violence in the temple
Violence is the flood
Violence in the home
Violence in the church
Violence in the city
Violence is the dirge
I’ve been waiting all my life
My hope a gun, my rage a knife
I’ve been waiting day by day
To be the make them pay
Violence in the fire
Violence in the flame
Violence in the scriptures
Violence is the rain
Violence in the alley
Violence in the schools
Violence in the sunset
Violence is the tool

The Long Goodbye
04:05
|
|||
Would you murder me
Like I will murder you
Would you bury me
Like I will bury you
Will you forget me
Like I will forget you
Would you end your life
Like I want to do
Would you poison me
Like I will poison you
Would you strangle me
Like I will strangle you
Will you erase me
Like I will erase you
Would you end your story
Like I went to do
This is the long goodbye
This is our final night
This is the long goodbye
We’ve run out of time
This is the long goodbye
This is our final night
This is the long goodbye
The end of you and I
