Good Ol’ Hollywood - lyrics
Hey there good ol Hollywood
wish that i could be a big name on the screen
Id drop everything i can if I could
Ya know i would
oh, good ol jolly hollywood
If i could good ol holly
Would you please teach me how to be something?
Would you please teach me how to be something?
2x La la la la la la la
I had dreams of being something
i should've known id travel so far from my home
to arrive at a dead end
I had hopes of growing older
With stories to tell
reasons why each person i meet
should like me a lot
give me a stage and a spotlight
it’ll be alright
(right?)
My autograph will break the bank they say
i know it'll sell for money some day
I dream of that day yet i dread it all the same
all the same
The sound of my laugh will be on tv screens
someday they’ll all have to listen to me
I dream of the fame yet i dread it all the same
all the same
and i sing:
Welcome all to hopeless dreaming
population: literally everybody!
Ah-tra-la
But they said “hey kid you can sing”
So I replied “take my money”
la la la la la la la
I replied “take my money”
la la la la la la la
i replied “take my money”
hey there good ol hollywood
i gave them my everything
la la la la la la la
i gave them my everything
now I scream “no no no no what did i do?”
They said i'd be singing for crowds by now
But i laugh “ha ha ha ha” in their faces
I’ll make it someday soon… somehow
Hey there good ol hollywood
let me down again, or maybe that's just me
i dropped everything i could hollywood
all for a dream
oh, good ol jolly hollywood
got caught up in the fantasy
and now i've got no one to blame but me
guess ive got nobody else to blame but me
fill the void with anything
played the game got the same results as everybody body
i can't just be nobody
now i'm broke and all alone good old holly holly holly
My autograph would break the bank they'd say,
as if it would sell for money today
i hated my fate i dreaded today but tried anyway
The sound of my laugh would be on tv screens
As if someday people would listen to me
I dreamt of the fame yet i dreaded it all the same all the same
I dreamt of the fame yet i dreaded it all the same all the same
I dream of the fame yet i dread it all the same all the same
I dream of the fame yet i hate this all the same all the same
Bye bye momma daddy, see this guy says that he
Can make your child into a star
By time that i’m back i'll put this town on the map
But for now i'm living outa my car

Bad things about Madilyn: Her voice is too good Her songs are too addictive She is underrated af

[@Picana790]

Madilyn please listen to Tulip! LISTEN TO YOUR VICTIMS👹

[@meganKT]

"every kid wants to be famous" "i dreamt of fame yet i dreaded it all the same" i reckon this song is kinda like a sequel/alt prespective of the nepotism kinda i know not really.

[@whyarewe_evenhere]

nepotism pt 2 or dani pt 2

[@meganKT]

oh yeah i also realized being the queen 2@@whyarewe_evenhere

[@stolas.goetia__is_hungry]

the kid who won all the talent shows grew a bit of an ego and when he went out into the real world with that confidence, he realized that he couldn’t just succeed everytime

[@varena04]

mannnn that's such a good trope. tragic celebrity who's really just lonely under the spotlight :( ily madilyn mei!!!!

[@cualsyx]

Your voice is like a little lark, flitting across the gentle winds of time and space, alighting playfully but so purposefully on the branch of our imagining

[@rainbowz-artz]

Hearing “The Queen” where you were saying how excited you were to make it big to this is beautifully heartbreaking. Please release this 😭🙏

TWO SPLENDID TUNES SONGS BACK TO BACK???? I RECKON MADILYN HAS BLESSED US AGAIN

[@soren4818]

Your voice! Your lyricism! The harmonies! This is beautiful I love it

[@soren_thatseahorse6889]

Looks like Madilyn Mei didn't listen to MARINA's song about Hollywood and became obsessed with the mess that is is America

[@expergoose9303]

Wow, I love this song, it feels like Nepotism part 2 (one of my favourite songs)! SPOTIFY PLEASEEEEEE ITS AMAZINGGGG

[@searchingforgryphons]

Iirc this is pretty much what happened with Friday if anyone remembers that song, her family paid a ton of money to someone to make her a star, who proceeded to make a song so bad the poor singer got mocked for years On a brighter note, Madilyn is rocking it right now!

[@brynnopenshaw6377]

This reminds me of Marilyn Monroe’s story :( Great song! :)

[@yogurtsplace]

your tunes feel soo pleasant in my ears

[@billybobboo9543]

And now to play it on repeat 😁👍👍🎀✨

[@almightygodkingz7868]

Been listening since the release of The Chapel, still probably one of my favorite songs ever. Your music has inspired me to acknowledge the true power of the minor four, and I use it somewhat unhealthily in my own compositions. Anyways, as someone who is developing in my own musical path, it's reassuring to see someone with so much talent and authenticity growing an audience. It has been a joy witnessing how you've changed as a musician, and gives me something that I can reflect upon in my own life.

[@catzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

This song is actually so good omg Madilyn release this PLEASEE

[@L0veehurts]

AAAA I WATCHED IT WITH MY DAD AND HE ENDED UP REALLY ENJOYING IT!!!

I am in a lost for words on how good your music sounds!! The vibes are just so good and I could listen to this for 5 years on repeat and not get annoyed. Your music is so calm and quick at the same time, I can’t describe it. Keep up the good work and I hope you reach 100k soon!! ❤❤
