tower of hollywood

a proud attempt to take his destiny

the hands of men

trying to seize the reigns of history

by making plans to reach

the sun

and so by orders of the nations king

they began

soon they towered over everything

from the ground it seemed

that it could be done

and they said rock by rock

we built a tower that will have no top

we'll get it right beneath the sun

and then keep going just for fun

and they said block by block

straight up to heaven and we can't be stopped

the sun has never felt this good

i'd even kiss it if i could

from the tower of hollywood

look

music

we used to listen to it

now we lookin' at it

liposuctionin' it

second guessing

questionin' it

faceliftin' suplementin' strechin' bendin' it till its broken

takes the wrinkles from the soul

botoxing loose the tone

now it's flat

the gifted was once giving to his children

now it's crap

they have no way to navigate the system

so they crash

they can form

then get torn

by the storm

by the lies of the leprechauns

for the gold you will get stepped on

and they close they eyes in their minds they thinking maybe

just maybe

i can be that one at the top

but why is he one at the top?

and why is the man that ain't never wrote a lyric in his life telling me how to rap

and why is the man that ain't never sing a note in his life telling him how to back his tracks

hackeysack

kicked around

dribbeling ya drop down on the ground

meanwhile everyone thinks it's all gravy

praying daily

they get trade met: red carpet

blue carpet

old carpet

new carpet

new carpet

album drop

didn't sale

used carpet

don't take off your shoes carpet

she's stained and abused carpet

everybody rolled up

career fold up

you old news carpet

that's entertainment

live and die inside the public eye

it always was and will forever be a pretty lie

so we all catch on fire

so we all catch on fire

from the tower of hollywood

if you want it i'll built it up and just let it go

blood

sweat

tears

love and rock and roll

mix it all together

light it up and watch it blow

blood

sweat

tears

love and rock and roll

if you want it i'll built it up and just let it go

blood

sweat

tears

love and rock and roll

mix it all together

light it up and watch it blow

watch it burn

yeah

watch it burn

so we all catch on fire

so we all catch on fire

and they close eyes in their minds they thinking maybe

just maybe

i can be that one at the top

but why is he one at the top?

and why is the man that ain't never wrote a lyric in his life telling me how to rap

and why is the man that ain't never sing a note in his life telling him how to back his tracks?

so we all catch on fire

so we all catch on fire

from the tower of hollywood

so we all catch on fire

so we all catch on fire
