Just Like Anything
[Intro]
It's just like anything... (x6)
[Verse 1]
Captain Jack was a suicide pimp with a nonstop nosebleed
Fell in love with a church choir tramp
Found out she was a drag queen
Crown him the Hollywood kid
Spent his time in another man's bed
"Does anybody care?", he said
Jimmy Jaw took a ten story dive, about sixteen-thousand feet
I watched the body go splat and they scraped him off the street
Now, he's a Hollywood kid
Tried to fly, they found him dead
"Is anybody there?", he said
[Chorus]
Stars laid out on the Hollywood squares
Going 'round and 'round like musical chairs
But be ready to rumble
Be ready to fight, if you wanna live through the boulevard night
Get ready for problems, get ready for pain
If you wanna play the L.A. game
Where you got to hustle and nothing is fair
Or be a chalk outline on a Hollywood square
[Verse 2]
Lady Faye back in '52 was a f-f-fiend for fame
Not a lick of talent, paid dues, got fucked by John Wayne
Crown her the Hollywood queen, she gives head in every scene
"Did anybody stare?", she said
That's what she said
[Chorus]
Stars laid out on the Hollywood Squares
Going 'round and 'round like musical chairs
But be ready to rumble
Be ready to fight, if you wanna live through the boulevard night
Get ready for problems, get ready for pain
If you wanna play the L.A. game
Where you got to hustle and nothing is fair
Or be a chalk outline
On a Hollywood Square
[Bridge]
Yeah
Ya don't know anything (x5)
[Outro]
Crown you
The Hollywood kid
Burned up time and now you're dead
"Does anybody care?", he said
I said
They crowned you
The Hollywood kid
Burned up time and now you're dead
"Does anybody care?", he said
