  • Hi Ho the righteous
    You Strike them where they lie
    They're free from guilt
    They're free from Moral sin
    High and low there's a reason why
    I'm stuck here everyday
    It's my own reward

    Hey ho the evil
    We see you're rising still
    Well you're fat you're dying
    You're robbing life's creation
    We all know there's a savage beast
    In the wonderful wizard of oz
    You see the walls are green
    But the city itself is not

    Lord I thank you
    For this Hollywood playground
    There's Royalty
    In Beachfront California
    Tell me have you ever seen
    The most Romantic Dream?
    Where life goes sailing by
    Before your eyes

    Yeah! woo! uh huh!
    Antidepressants and all that

    Hi ho the overtones
    They are universal and real
    They say the kid doesn't act he takes off into vapor
    And there's a wasteland of Herman Miller's chairs
    Way up in Houndstooth Loft
    If you listen closely
    You can hear them all get off

    Lord I thank you
    For this Hollywood playground
    There's Royalty
    In Beachfront California
    Tell me have you ever seen
    The most Romantic Dream?
    Where life goes sailing by
    Before your eyes Writer/s: Jonathan Wilson
