This one I wrote and have played it acoustically for a few years. Then I produced and mixed it using Suno tools, with the same, simple, common progression/melody I began this with, nearly 4 years ago. I did have to clean up a few choice lyrics.
Thanks for listenin'!

Goodbye, Hollywood

Saturday morning Matinee
a lonely child, was my get-away.
main attraction for half the pay,
a distraction from the pain.

v2
Moving pictures, sights and sound
I dared to wrap my heart around
beautiful people brave and strong,
were the monsters all along

shoulda kept that dirty mouth shut
a lid on that childhood rage
now the world screaming for you to "cut'
be a better actor off stage.

Goodbye Hollywood
your casting couch is gone
now just kindling, like firewood,
so we can burn it all down

we'll burn it all down.

v2
Broken people with pretty faces
conjuring up their scars.
stroking egos in secret places
eclipse the passing star.

shoulda kept your zipper shut
kept a lid on that primal urge,
now a smorgasbord of cash and smut
for remembering words.


Breaking people
with pretty faces
conjuring up the scars.
strokin egos
in secret places,
then falls the newborn star.

"..and have the balls to call it "art".


Goodbye Hollywood
Goodbye Hollywood
Goodbye Hollywood
Goodbye hollywood
