Backdrop Painters Lyrics by Dream Version

Dream Version

2021

[Verse]
It must take a lot of cash
To look the right kind of working class
Looking fit to ride the rails
With no dirt under your nails

[Verse]
Emotionally built
From emotional scratch
Redundant for words
No, scratch that
How much money does it take
To make folks like the sausage you make?

[Chorus]
In Hollywood, the sky looks fake on camera
They've been painting all night long

[Verse]
They told me not to sing about my job
But if I sing free when are you gonna pay up
Got another band
With the check from dad in hand

[Chorus]
In Hollywood, the sky looks fake on camera
They've been painting all night long

[Verse]
Sometimes I dream the only market is me
Executives scramble to meet my pleasе
Shut the coal mine down, spread thеm solar panels round

[Bridge]
Video store returns
Taco truck thrives
Record label churns out payments [?] the lights

[Verse]
On second thought no
I'd rather be surprised
Are we sure we already know what we like
How much money does it take
To make folks like the sausage you make?

[Chorus]
In Hollywood, the sky looks fake on camera
They've been painting all night long
In Hollywood, the sky looks fake on camera
They've been painting all night long

[Outro]
Keep painting, painting
Keep painting, painting (all night long)
Keep painting, painting
Keep painting, painting (all night long)
