Can you smile for a second?
(Perfect)
Fake smiles keep the right dials moving
Constantly in predetermined directions
Top floor boys in Hermans they direct every action
(Oh lord)
Mercy upon us empty (heys)
Feel like the water empty (souls)
They're filling this stomach
They talk with no substance
How bad do you want it?
(Ah chill, really bad)
You're out because you gotta be
But when you speak to hate
'Cause that's not who you oughta be
Reel in the truth, feed the sharks before the heat
So go ahead (cheese)
LA smile for me
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile
'Cause you're in hollywood
LA stars is all they got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile
Yeah, it's hollywood
Go ahead point the star in the sky
You look up and there's nothing but neon lights
Short-lived highs keep you tied
Making us believe theirs is better than ours, yeah
Smile, smile, smile for the camera
Red flags wave like banners
Just smile, smile, smile for the camera
All your life
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile
'Cause you're in hollywood
LA stars is all they got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile
Yeah, it's hollywood
Go ahead and smile along
While hollywood is watching us
Is anybody real over here, here?
Go ahead and smile along
While hollywood is watching us
Is anybody hearing this here?
Help, I'm sincere
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile
'Cause you're in hollywood
LA stars is all they got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile
Yeah, it's hollywood
