I see the Hollywood in your eyes You hide behind the things that money buys You love the power, you love control Ah, you step on people 'cause you want it all Don't you know the world will tease you It will seize you It will squeeze you until you're into its mold The world was a very good friend of mine It promised everything I wanted in life Oh, it came to me with its pa**ion and gold I bought it for a while, it nearly cost me my soul Don't you know the world will tease you It will seize you It will squeeze you, pour you into its mold Don't you know the world will tease you It will seize you It will squeeze you until you're into its mold Generation in temptation Oh, don't you realize your situation But be of good cheer, Jesus Christ is here
And He overcame, oh, the world you fear Once a week you go to church just to escape You get your spiritual fix, now you think you're safe Oh, be transformed by renewing your mind You've got to live like Jesus on the firing line Don't you know the world will tease you Oh, it will seize you It will squeeze you until you're into its mold The world will tease you It will seize you Oh, don't let it squeeze you Until you're lifeless and cold, no, no Oh, the world Don't let it take you now It looks so nice to you now But it will tease you, seize you Until it squeezes you And then you've lost your soul You've got that Hollywood in your eyes It looks so nice but it's just a disguise
