There's a man in a move that I'd like to be There's a boy in the story who longs to be free There's a girl on the sidewalk and she wants to be With a man in a movie that I'll never see There's a ship on an ocean that I'll never sail There's a circular notion that dooms us to fail And they're serving that potion at the places I haunt Where I get what I need and I hate what I want Oh I get what I need but I hate what I want 'Cause we let them all bleed for our own rock of salt And we turn a blind eye to the suffering and pain 'Til a man in a movie reminds us again Well there's peace in a valley still somewhere I know Where the people will rally and fight for their home And I love you darling but this I won't flaunt That I get what I need and I hate what I want Oh I get what I need and I hate what I want 'Cause we let them all bleed for our own rock of salt And we turn a blind eye to the suffering and pain 'Til a man in a movie reminds us again And we go on believing it's all in the name Of a Hollywood ending the reason we came Of a Hollywood ending the reason we came
