[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
