TV Girl - Stupid Actress lyrics
[TV Girl - Stupid Actress lyrics]
I dreamt that I screwed every
Stupid actress in LA
I dreamt that I was holding them
And told them it'd be okay
It's not easy being famous anyways
So famous people say
'Cause everyone that you meet just
Wants to screw you and you can't complain
And it's a shame
She'd be a queen back in Rhode Island
Now she wait's in line with
The other sad clichés and besides
She's really not so sexy and wild
That was just the part she had to play
"Don't call me stupid! Don't
Call me a fraud!"
"A little too pretty for Hollywood, honey"
"What'cha mean, ma'am?"
"Hollywood's full of pretty hip guys
You know what can
Happen to a pretty girl all alone there?"
I dreamt that I saved every
Stupid actress in LA
And every aging waitress who gave it up
And had to change back her name
They floated out of every coke-fueled party
Every overpriced café
But that was just some dream I had
And when I woke up nothing changed
Even though she don't have
Grace like Greta Garbo
Even though she don't have
Eyes like Clara Bow
That leather glove could pluck you
From the huddled mass tomorrow
And toss you through a gilded puff of smoke
"I once knew a girl who
Was so beautiful, and smart
With integrity don't know what's
Become of her" "Don't call me stupid! Don't
Call me a fraud!"
"yeah some of you act like you
Got a head with no brain
Or neither one of them" "After all
I've never seen so many go down with so
Much and come up with so little"
I dreamt that I was every
Stupid actress in LA
I dreamt it that you meant
It when you said that
You would come and see my play
You sat there and you watched me
And you thought it was pretty
Good for a pretty face
And wondered, if I had a soul to sell
Would it get bought, or just thrown away?
The statue of infamy
It gazes down in silence
From it's perch up there
In the Hollywood Hills
Give me your crazy and your desperate
And your beautiful but inspired
I'll give them glamour, give them thrills
And to me there's nothing sad about a dream
She screamed as she swan dove
From a pearly-white H
Those nobodies back home
They only dream while they're asleep
Not you and me babe we
Keep ours through the day
"When that test gets to Hollywood
You will be the new dramatic
Find of the year!" "You thought it was sad?"
"Sad, Mr jenkins? It was miserable"
Stupid actress in LA
I dreamt that I was holding them
And told them it'd be okay
It's not easy being famous anyways

'Cause everyone that you meet just
Wants to screw you and you can't complain
And it's a shame
She'd be a queen back in Rhode Island
Now she wait's in line with
The other sad clichés and besides
She's really not so sexy and wild
