[Intro] Hollywood teeth Smile while they feed Hollywood teeth Everybody bleeds [Verse] The billboards smiled like saints in gold But the alley knew stories the cameras never told A girl with a record deal cried in the rain Said they changed her voice and forgot her name The photographers crawled like flies on wine A publicist promised me a cleaner shine She said, lose the rage and soften the fire I said, honey, rage is why they hire [Pre-Chorus] Bright lights Sharp bite Soft hands Cold night [Chorus] Hollywood teeth Chewing up dreams Hollywood teeth Pretty little machines They kiss your mouth Then sell your grief Watch your heart Round Hollywood teeth [Verse] I saw old stars in hotel bars Trading war stories for imported cigars They said, girl, be careful when the suits applaud They clap for the parts of you they can rob A magazine wanted me half undressed With a headline calling me the Strip’s new mess I gave them leather, blood, and truth They wanted blush and bedroom proof [Pre-Chorus] Bright lights Sharp bite Soft hands Cold night [Chorus] Hollywood teeth Chewing up dreams Hollywood teeth Pretty little machines They kiss your mouth Then sell your grief Watch your heart Round Hollywood teeth [Instrumental] Dirty riff breakdown Guitar solo snarls Drums hit like doors slamming Gang vocals chant [Bridge] They don’t want your soul They want the photograph They don’t want your pain Unless the pain can laugh They don’t want your story They want a shorter dress They don’t want your thunder They want your emptiness [Breakdown] Smile Bite Bleed Pose Sell Lie Nobody knows [Build-up] I see the jaws behind the kiss I see the hunger under bliss I see the stage, I see the street I won’t be meat for Hollywood teeth [Chorus] Hollywood teeth Chewing up dreams Hollywood teeth Pretty little machines They kiss your mouth Then sell your grief Watch your heart Round Hollywood teeth [Chorus] Hollywood teeth White as bone Hollywood teeth Don’t leave me alone They kiss your mouth Then sell your grief I won’t die In Hollywood teeth [Outro] Hollywood teeth Smile while they feed Hollywood teeth But they won’t eat me
