Hollywood Lyrics

[Chorus]
Well, I'm a man, I was brought up right
I said my prayers every night since 1995
And I pray, God help me, I've done the best I could
But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

[Outro]
I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Hollywood” is the first single off of Tobias Jesso Jr’s debut album Goon. Critics have compared Jesso Jr’s sound to the likes of Elton John, Harry Nilsson, and Randy Newman. Pitchfork wrote about “Hollywood,” saying, “Think of it as the film negative to Billy Joel’s "New York State of Mind”, with the colors reversed, and the medium thin and flimsy."
