Lyrics for Tinseltown Rebellion by Zappa Frank:
| | | Artist: | Zappa Frank |
| | Album: | Tinseltown Rebellion | | Track: | Tinseltown Rebellion | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 316 | | | | Lyrics: | From Madam Wong's to Starwood
To the Whiskey on the Strip
You can hear the crashing,
blasting strum
Of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract
From a
talent scout some day
They'll sell their ass, their cocks and balls
They'll take the check
'n walk away
If they're lucky they'll get famous
For a week or two perhaps
They'll
buy some ugly clothes to wear
And hope the business don't collapse
Before some stupid
magazine
Decides they're really good
They're a Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
From
downtown Hollywood
Tinsel Town Rebellion,
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
It's a
little bitty Tinsel Town Rebellion
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
They used to play
all kinds of stuff
And some of it was nice
Some of it was musical
But then they took
some guy's advice
To get a record deal, he said,
They would have to be more
punk
Forget their chops and play real dumb
Or else they would be sunk
So off they go
to S.I.R. to learn some stupid riffs
And practice all their poses
In between their powder
sniffs
Chop a line now, snort it up now
And when they think they've got
it
They launch a new career
Who gives a fuck if what they play
Is somewhat insincere
Tinsel Town Rebellion,
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
A Tinsel Town
Rebellion,
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people down
there
Think that substance is a bore
And if your New Wave group looks good
They'll
hurry on back for more
Of leather groups and plastic groups
And groups that look real
queer
The Tinsel Town aficionados
Come to see and not to hear
But then again this
system works
As perfect as a dream
It works for all of those record company
pricks
Who come to skim the cream
From the cesspools of excitement
Where Jim Morrison
once stood
It's the Tinsel Town Rebellion
From downtown Hollywood
It's
everybody happy?
Oh, never mind!
