(Verse 1)
Red carpet flashes, a sea of lies
Smiling for the cameras with hungry eyes
They build you up just to watch you fall
It's a beautiful, brutal free-for-all
(Chorus)
Oh, we're headlines in the morning light
A beautiful mess in black and white
Selling our scandals, paying the price
In this gilded cage of paradise
(Verse 2)
Paparazzi whispers, a trusted friend
Sells the confession in the end
Our private w*r on a public stage
Turning a new, dramatic page
(Chorus)
Oh, we're headlines in the morning light
A beautiful mess in black and white
Selling our scandals, paying the price
In this gilded cage of paradise
(Bridge)
And the credits roll on the life we faked...
Was the glitter worth the soul it takes?
(Outro)
Just another name on the marquee...
Fading out in this city.
Hollywood.
