Tinsel Town Rebellion(Live) - Frank Zappa

Tinsel Town Rebellion (Live) - Frank Zappa
From Madam Wong's to Starwood
To the Whiskey on the Strip
You can hear the crashing blasting strum
Of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract
From a talent scout some day
They'll sell their a** their cocks and balls
They'll take the check 'n' walk away
If they're lucky they'll get famous
For a week or two perhaps
They'll buy some ugly clothes to wear
And hope the business don't collapse
Before some stupid magazine
Decides they're really good
They're a Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
From downtown Hollywood
Tinsel Town Rebellion Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
It's a little bitty Tinsel Town Rebellion
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
They used to play all kinds of stuff
And some of it was nice
Some of it was musical
But then they took some guy's advice
To get a record deal he said
They would have to be more punk
Forget their chops and play real dumb
Or else they would be sunk
So off they go to S I R to learn some stupid riffs
Oh no No no no no no no no no Cause the aces are good
And when they think they've got it
They launch a new career
Who gives a f**k if what they play
Is somewhat insincere
Let's dance the blues again
Everybody
Dance the blues again
Come on and
Dance the blues again
Get down from the
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people down there
Think that substance is a bore
And if your New Wave group looks good
They'll hurry on back for more
Of leather groups
I do I
We'll rock you like a nincompoop
And plastic groups
Rubber goods
And groups that look real queer
I'll tumble for ya
(He'll tumble for ya )
I'll tumble for ya
I'll tumble for ya very much
Moo moo moo moo moo
(Home town sausage tambourine)
Moo moo moo moo moo
Moo moo moo moo moo
Moo moo moo moo-wah
The Tinsel Town aficionados
Come to see and not to hear
But then again this system works
As perfect as a dream
It works for all of those record company pricks
Let's see that record company prick again
It works for all of those record company pricks
Now do it when it hits the floor
It works for all of those record company pricks
Who come to skim the cream
From the cesspools of excitement
Where Jim Morrison once stood
It's that Tinsel Town Rebellion
From down down down
(down down down)
Town town town
(town town town)
Holly lolly lolly
Holly lolly lolly
