As Swan leaves for Hollywood, her home town calls out one last time; urging her to stay.
lyrics
Oh Angeles,
Don't you take these children away from me.
Your spirit is mean.
You're not the promise that you used to be.
Just let their young hearts go where they should go.
Follow their own roads, discover their future.
Not this impostor, this celebrity,
This emptiest dream burned onto their screens.
Oh please,
Tell me, do you believe in any of this?
With all that they'll miss.
They'll sell their youth for a prize that doesn't exist.
Leave them with me and they'll grow and be strong.
Know right from wrong, stay on a good path
With your inhibitions you'll have them with ease.
Don't do it to me Angeles.
Oh Angeles
Don't you take these children away from me.
Oh Angeles,
Oh Angeles,
Please.
