_____________________ / System of a Down / I think this song is about Daron??s disgust for fame that / Lost In Hollywood / status and an achievement. It??s about how people are / Mezmerize / consumed and corrupted by the ideal of becoming famous. /____________________/ The Hackensack-reference is an old saying, where Hackensack means a dull town where there??s no point in being in. This is of course pure sarcasm! ******************************************************************************* * Check out my Guitar Pro-version of the song, just follow the link: * * * ******************************************************************************* Tuning: Drop-C# (C# G# C# F# A# D#) Gtr 1 ??

I'll wait here You're crazy Those vicious streets are filled with strays You should have never gone to Hollywood They find you Two-time you Say you're the best they've ever seen You should have never trusted Hollywood I wrote you And told you You were the biggest fish out here You should have never gone to Hollywood They take you And make you They look at you in disgusting ways You should have never trusted Hollywood I was standing on the wall Feeling ten feet tall All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard This is my front page This is my new age All you b**ches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard All you b**ches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care Phony people come to pray Look at all of them beg to stay Phony people come to pray The lines in the letter said "We have gone to Hackensack" Look at all of them beg to stay Phony people come to pray All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard All you maggots smoking fags out there on Hollywood Boulevard You should have never trusted Hollywood You should have never gone to Hollywood All you b**ches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care You should have never trusted Hollywood - 28th /January /09
