Mann's Chinese

Gilded ghetto

Hollywood stained below

'bout every street I know

About some girls from Tokyo

Can't believe they even care

So crowd around and put your hands down there

He's been dead almost thirty years

No I don't belong here

No I don't belong here

Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break

Everybody fronts, everybody fakes

Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay

Here at the Mann's Chinese

Oh, Mann's Chinese

Used to live right near

They built a bar called the New Frontier

With chartreuse drinks and atmosphere

They closed it up in the very same year

Then Batman II premiered

You could feel the riots in the air

All the natives sitting and sipping beer

and they're thinking

No we don't belong here

No we don't belong here

Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break

Everybody fronts, everybody fakes

Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay

Here at the Mann's Chinese

Oh, Mann's Chinese

Everynody watch, everybody wave

Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems

Shine and you believe

I've gotta get away, no I'm never gonna stay

Here at the Mann's Chinese

Oh, Mann's Chinese

Fredrick's burned down

There were mourners all around

Fear swept through the theater crowd

they're thinking

No, we don't belong here

No, we don't belong here

Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break

Everybody fronts, everybody fakes

Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay

Here at the Mann's Chinese

Oh, Mann's Chinese

Everynody watch, everybody wave

Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems

Shine and you believe

I've gotta get away, no I'm never gonna stay

Here at the Mann's Chinese

The Mann's Chinese
