“Hollywood”
They all would’ve been killed in The Sound of Music.
They would’ve found out that Pinocchio could never tell the truth.
And she wouldn’t make it to shore, the little mermaid.
He would’ve married a whore from a wealthy family…
And Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors til her hands grew old and tired
And nobody would look away…
I blame you Hollywood, for showing me things you never should
Show a young girl, in this cruel world.
—Angus & Julia Stone, “Hollywood” from A Book Like This
