hey hey hey hey hollywood--
i can't catch a break!
under lights, burning up
twitching on a stake
i sang my audition
and you did not reply
cut me up, cut me down, cut me out--
make me wanna die!
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
now, early in my youth
i was struck by destiny
i could feel the hand of god
open up to me
so fuck you lucky stars
shining up my street!
i cast you as a rag doll--
straight to dvd!
oh! yeah! ooh!
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
i can manifest the best
with teardrops on my eyes
you see me staring into death
but i'm not gonna die!
cross my head and cross my heart
cross up on the wall
i can feel the dynamite inside the very small
i can ride the devastation early in the morn
i can hear my mama call me even when she's gone!
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
she cries, she screams:
"i'm livin' the dream!"
