about

Hollywood Boulevard - Billie Davies

HipHoppy Funky and a Jazzy Bop in the middle

It is a world of drugs and murder, con artists and thieves, it is a world of selling the american dream with hi-tech-lo-tech fast paced executives.
It is a world of high end entertainment that the Hollywood Boulevard locals cannot afford, but they learn to work or perform in it.
It is the world of the dream, the last stand of bohemia where poetry is very much alive and where punk rock and rap and hip hop and DJ's rule.
It is the world where we smell the crack in hall ways and where thugs and pimps and sex workers and homeless and hopefuls meet at night...
It is the world where we sell you “Crazy” and where people for Jesus tell us that the last day is near.
Anybody wants a cure? Listen to Jesus!
It is a world of selling the American Dream, selling that fantasy of Disney and Oscars and Grammys. Selling the brainwash of the world.

lyrics

HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD (Billie Davies)


People

Just like stars 

Just like you, just like me 

Twinkling behind bars

Fires of joy 

Fires of war 

Fires of joy 

Fires of war 

What are we looking for 

This world is filled with...

Toothpaste...

Toothpaste... 

Toothpaste... 

Toothpaste...

People

Just like stars in the sky

Just like you, just like me

Yearning to fly high...



It is a world of Drugs and Sex and Rock & Roll.

It is a world of selling the American Dream.



It is the world of high end entertainment that the Hollywood Boulevard locals cannot afford... but they learn to work and perform in it.

It is the world of the dream, the last stand of bohemia where poetry is very much alive and where punk rock and rap and hip hop and DJ's rule...

It is the world where we smell crack in the hall ways and where thugs and pimps and sex workers and homeless and hopefuls and the rightful meet at night...

It is the world where we sell you “Crazy”

And where people for Jesus tell us that the last day is near. Anybody wants a cure? Listen to Jesus!

It is a world of selling the American Dream... 

selling that fantasy of Disney and Oscars and Grammys.


People 

Just like stars

Just like you, just like me 

Twinkling behind bars

Fires of joy

Fires of war 

Fires of joy

Fires of war 

What are we looking for

This world is filled with...

Toothpaste... 

Toothpaste... 

Toothpaste... 

Toothpaste...
