about

Dude, when one hand claps, what is the other?

lyrics

You probably know my face from in the movies
They say that I’m the next Keanu Reeves
I’ve been a bad guy in lots of B flicks
The sexy kind who lives off the A chicks

I’ve got the look, the threads and all of that shit
There’s something missing though – can’t put my finger on it
I’ll go out shopping for some Samadhi
How did that chant go? From at the party?

Eating up the white lines, like a mirage
The key to nirvana also opens my garage
Better get out the way, I got my foot on the gas
Doing one-ninety-nine on the Eightfold Path

I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist
I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist

Doing the lotus thing, around the pool
With the bikinis - Oh, he’s so spiritual!
I strike a pose on the red carpet
Is it still red, though, if I’m not on it?

Now my status is up in the cards I’m dealt
Wearing my dharma like a reversible belt
When I stare at the stars they ought to stare back at me
But if they don’t, there’s always Scientology

Swallowing the asphalt, like a mirage
The key to nirvana hangs on a hook in my garage
I’ll be feeding my fumes to the people I pass
Burning some rubber on the Eightfold Path

I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist
I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist

Taking a picture with the Dalai Lama
I’m on the guest list – I hope he likes my beads
Fruity libations at the Marmont or the Ivy
Tell the boy to pass my order on - make it sweet but not too strong

Faster than a wild horse whose name is Pride
Greener than the green grass on the other side
Too deep and wide to even fit on the map
Three times louder than a one hand clap

I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist
(Clap your hand, clap your hand, clap your hand)
I’m a Hollywood, Hollywood, a Hollywood Buddhist

Acting on the screen, living in the dream
Posing for the crowd, talking real loud, and we’re…
Playing with the pose, acting like we knows
That’s the way it goes, ‘cause ya can’t stop Hollywood

Can’t stop, can’t stop; can’t stop Hollywood, Hollywood
Can’t stop Hollywood...
