[Verse 1]
Can you smile for a second? (Perfect)
Fake smiles keep the right dials moving
Constantly in predetermined directions
Top floor boys in Hermans
They direct every action, oh (Lord)
Mercy upon us, empty (Haze)
Feel like the water, empty (Souls)
I filled this stomach they talk with no substance
How bad do you want it? (Ah, so, really bad)
And when you speak to the hate
You're out 'cause you gotta be
Real and the truth
Feed the sharks for the ease
So go ahead (Cheese)
LA smile for me

[Chorus]
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile 'cause you're in Hollywood
LA stars is all they've got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile, yeah, it's Hollywood
[Verse 2]
Go ahead for a star in the sky
You look up and it's nothing but neon lights
Short-lived nights keep you tired
Making us believe theirs is better than ours, yeah
Smile, smile, smile for the camera
Red flags wave like bandages
Smile, smile, smile for the camera
All your life

[Chorus]
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile 'cause you're in Hollywood
LA stars is all they've got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile, yeah, it's Hollywood

[Bridge]
Go ahead and smile along
While Hollywood is watching us
Is anybody real over here, here?
Go ahead and smile along
While Hollywood is watching us
Is anybody hearing this here?
Help, I'm sincere
[Chorus]
LA stars is what they want
Camera picture perfect
Fucked under the surface
So go ahead and smile 'cause you're in Hollywood
LA stars is all they've got
Action with no purpose
Words are fucking worthless
So go ahead and smile, yeah, it's Hollywood
