《Tinsel Town Rebellion》歌词

[00:00:00] Tinsel Town Rebellion - Frank Zappa (弗兰克·扎帕)

[00:00:19] From Madam Wong's to Starwood

[00:00:21] To the Whiskey on the strip

[00:00:23] You can hear the crashing blasting strum

[00:00:26] Of bands that come to be real hip

[00:00:28] And get a record contract

[00:00:30] From a talent scout someday

[00:00:33] They'll sell their a** their cocks and balls

[00:00:35] They'll take the check 'n' walk away

[00:00:40] If they're lucky they'll get famous

[00:00:42] For a week or two perhaps

[00:00:45] They'll buy some ugly clothes to wear

[00:00:47] And hope the business don't collapse

[00:00:50] Before some stupid magazine

[00:00:52] Decides they're really good

[00:00:54] They're a Tinsel Town Rebellion Band

[00:00:57] From downtown Hollywood

[00:01:00] Tinsel Town Rebellion

[00:01:06] Tinsel Town Rebellion Band

[00:01:11] It's a little bitty Tinsel Town Rebellion

[00:01:15] A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band

[00:01:30] They used to play all kinds of stuff

[00:01:32] And some of it was nice

[00:01:34] Some of it was musical

[00:01:36] But then they took some guy's advice

[00:01:39] To get a record deal he said

[00:01:41] They would have to be more punk

[00:01:44] Forget their chops and play real dumb

[00:01:46] Or else they would be sunk

[00:01:48] So off they go to S I R to learn some stupid riffs

[00:01:55] And practice all their poses

[00:02:00] In between their powder sniffs

[00:02:03] Chop up a line now snort it up now

[00:02:12] And when they think they've got it

[00:02:15] They launch a new career

[00:02:17] Who gives a f**k if what they play

[00:02:20] Is somewhat insincere

[00:02:23] Tinsel Town Rebellion

[00:02:28] Tinsel Town Rebellion Band

[00:02:33] A Tinsel Town Rebellion

[00:02:37] A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band

[00:02:42] Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people there

[00:02:45] Think substance is a bore

[00:02:49] And if your New Wave group looks good

[00:02:51] They'll hurry on back for more

[00:02:53] Of leather groups and plastic groups

[00:02:56] And groups that look real queer

[00:02:59] The Tinsel Town aficionados

[00:03:02] Come to see and not to hear

[00:03:05] But then again this system works

[00:03:07] As perfect as a dream

[00:03:10] It works for all those record company pricks

[00:03:13] Who come to skim the cream

[00:03:20] From the cesspools of excitement

[00:03:23] Where Jim Morrison once stood

[00:03:26] It's the Tinsel Town Rebellion

[00:03:30] From downtown Hollywood
