__NOTOC__

==Lyrics==
From Madam Wong's to Starwood<br>
To the Whiskey on the strip<br>
You can hear the crashing, blasting strum<br>
Of bands that come to be real hip<br>
And get a record contract<br>
From a talent scout someday<br>
They'll sell their ass, their cocks and balls<br>
They'll take the check 'n' walk away<br>

If they're lucky they'll get famous<br>
For a week or two perhaps<br>
They'll buy some ugly clothes to wear<br>
And hope the business don't collapse<br>
Before some stupid magazine<br>
Decides they're really good<br>

They're a Tinsel Town Rebellion Band<br>
From downtown Hollywood<br>

Tinsel Town Rebellion,<br>
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band<br>
It's a little bitty Tinsel Town Rebellion<br>
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band<br>

They used to play all kinds of stuff<br>
And some of it was nice<br>
Some of it was musical<br>
But then they took some guy's advice<br>
To get a record deal, he said<br>
They would have to be more punk<br>
Forget their chops and play real dumb<br>
Or else they would be sunk<br>

So off they go to S.I.R. to learn some stupid riffs<br>
And practice all their poses<br>
In between their powder sniffs<br>
Chop up a line now, snort it up now<br>

And when they think they've got it<br>
They launch a new career<br>
Who gives a fuck if what they play<br>
Is somewhat insincere<br>

Tinsel Town Rebellion,<br>
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band<br>
A Tinsel Town Rebellion<br>
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band<br>

Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people there<br>
Think substance is a bore<br>
And if your New Wave group looks good<br>
They'll hurry on back for more<br>
Of leather groups and plastic groups<br>
And groups that look real queer<br>
The Tinsel Town aficionados<br>
Come to see and not to hear<br>
But then again this system works<br>
As perfect as a dream<br>
It works for all those record company pricks<br>
Who come to skim the cream<br>
From the cesspools of excitement<br>
Where [[Jim Morrison]] once stood<br>

It's the Tinsel Town Rebellion<br>
From downtown Hollywood
