| I see the Hollywood in your eyes
|
| You hide behind the things that money buys
|
| You love the power, you love control
|
| Ah, you step on people 'cause you want it all
|
| Don’t you know the world will tease you
|
| It will seize you
|
| It will squeeze you until you’re into its mold
|
| The world was a very good friend of mine
|
| It promised everything I wanted in life
|
| Oh, it came to me with its passion and gold
|
| I bought it for a while, it nearly cost me my soul
|
| Don’t you know the world will tease you
|
| It will seize you
|
| It will squeeze you, pour you into its mold
|
| Don’t you know the world will tease you
|
| It will seize you
|
| It will squeeze you until you’re into its mold
|
| Generation in temptation
|
| Oh, don’t you realize your situation
|
| But be of good cheer, Jesus Christ is here
|
| And He overcame, oh, the world you fear
|
| Once a week you go to church just to escape
|
| You get your spiritual fix, now you think you’re safe
|
| Oh, be transformed by renewing your mind
|
| You’ve got to live like Jesus on the firing line
|
| Don’t you know the world will tease you |
| Oh, it will seize you
|
| It will squeeze you until you’re into its mold
|
| The world will tease you
|
| It will seize you
|
| Oh, don’t let it squeeze you
|
| Until you’re lifeless and cold, no, no
|
| Oh, the world
|
| Don’t let it take you now
|
| It looks so nice to you now
|
| But it will tease you, seize you
|
| Until it squeezes you
|
| And then you’ve lost your soul
|
| You’ve got that Hollywood in your eyes
|
| It looks so nice but it’s just a disguise |
