Lyrics:

[English]

Could you be a teenage idol?

Could you be a movie star?

When l turn on my TV will you smile and wave at me?

Telling Oprah who you are

So you want to be a rock star

With blue eyed bunny's in your bed

Well, remember when you're rich that you sold yourself for this

You'll be famous 'cause you're dead

So don't go higher for desire

Put it in your head

Baby, Hollywood is dead

You can find it in yourself

I don't want to take you dancing

When you're dancing with the world

You can flash your caviar and your million dollar car

I don't need that kind of girl

But you could be that next sensation

Or will you set the latest style?

You don't need a catchy song 'cause the kids will sing along

When you shoot it with a smile

So don't go higher for desire

Put it in your head

Baby, Hollywood is dead

You can find it in yourself

So don't fly higher for your fire

Put it in your head

Baby, Hollywood is dead

You can find it in yourself

...

Keep it in your head

Hollywood is dead

Well, you can do the mighty tango

You can start your little thing

You can swing from vine to vine while the kiddies wait in line

With the money in their hands

But if you get to California

Save a piece of gold for me

If it's the only thing you save then I'll bet you'll never wave

When I watch you on TV

So don't go higher for desire

Put it in your head

Baby, Hollywood is dead

You can find it in yourself

So don't fly higher for your fire

Put it in your head

Baby, Hollywood is dead

You can find it in yourself

Keep on loving what is true

And the world will come to you

You can find it in yourself

Love what is true

And the world will come to you

You can find it in yourself

No, no, no, no, no

Keep it in your head

Hollywood is dead

Come, come, Hollywood is dead, babe, woo hoo

...

Oh, Hollywood is dead, yeah, yeah

Oh, it's dead, Hollywood is dead, baby, baby, baby

Keep on loving what is true

And the world will come to you

Hollywood is dead

Get it in your head

Hollywood is dead

...
