Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hollywood is plastic but easy on the eyes
Big Apple is fantastic but cuts you down to size
HEY
They'll treat you like a doormat, expecting you to fail
Says right across your forehead, integrity for sale
HEY
[Verse 2]
You'll be on TV when it starts to snow in hell
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
You won't believe me, so go and see it for yourself
[Verse 3]
Oh, that Brunettes move to New York
Blondes love California
East Coast takes the cocaine
West Coast marijuana
Don't be surprised when you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit when it's up above your eyes
KISS IT GOODBYE
[Verse 4]
Stealing comes with practice, lying comes with ease
But neither one is faster than falling to your knees
HEY
Money leads to fame and fame is the disease
The latest epidemic, reality TV
HEY
[Verse 5]
You'll be on TV when it starts to snow in hell
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
You won't believe me, so go and see it for yourself
[Verse 6]
Oh, that Brunettes move to New York
Blondes love California
East Coast takes the cocaine
West Coast marijuana
Don't be surprised when you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit when it's up above your eyes
[Verse 7]
THEY WON'T LET YOU GET OUT ALIVE
YOUR ASS, GRAB IT AND KISS IT GOODBYE
THEY WON'T LET YOU GET OUT ALIVE
YOUR ASS, GRAB IT AND KISS IT GOODBYE
[Verse 8]
AND KISS IT GOODBYE
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
(Bet you wish you heard about it)
[Verse 9]
So let's move to New York
Go out to California
East Coast takes the cocaine
West Coast marijuana
Don't be surprised when you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit when it's up above your eyes
[Verse 10]
THEY WON'T LET YOU GET OUT ALIVE
YOUR ASS, GRAB IT AND KISS IT GOODBYE
THEY WON'T LET YOU GET OUT ALIVE
YOUR ASS, GRAB IT AND KISS IT GOODBYE
