Gilded ghetto
Hollywood stained below
About 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 going to bend
And I'm never going to break
(Everybody fronts, everybody fakes)

Never going to stop
And I'm never going to stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
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 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 going to bend, never going to break
(Everybody fronts, everybody fakes)
Never going to stop, never going to stay
(Everybody watch, everybody wave)

Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems
Shine and you believe
I've got to get away, no, I'm never going to stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
Mann's Chinese

Frederick'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 going to bend never going to break
(Everybody fronts, everybody fakes)
Never going to stop never going to stay
(Everybody watch, everybody wave)

Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems
Shine and you believe
I've got to get away, no, I'm never going to stay
Here at the Mann's Chinese
Mann's Chinese, the Mann's Chinese
