What becomes of people when they attempt to succeed in the entertainment business? Whether successful or not, they usually become a strung out shell of their formal selves. Will the success you strive for make you truly happy?

lyrics

Make it or break it; the anthem everybody knows too well.
They’re looking to upsell their souls and go to hell.
Roll with the “in” crowd. Go burn the midnight oil you socialite.
I’m following footsteps to find out how to do it right.
Cause it hurts to be the one to lose when you don’t have a thing to lose.
Take me to Hollywood, tap my veins, and bleed me dry.
Lead the way to paradise, stabbing backs just to get by.
I’ll be fired up and drained. I won’t even know my name.
Take me to Hollywood, where old dreams come true and die, like they should.
You better watch it! Your mind is racing faster than your heart.
The weather can fix this; it’s snowing, take a part,
before the arrival of epileptic shock from flashing lights.
I’m following footsteps to find out how to do it right.
So here’s to Hollywood…we’ll die in Hollywood…
I always knew I could (this place is strange and magical).
