Old Hollywood 가사

We never used to take our lives so damn seriously Without any thought of consequences to ourselves But those were the kind of days that we laughed upon And living in MacArthur park did not help Strung out and broken and on the skids We took what they gave us in old Hollywood Paid the price of our childhood We were paid monopoly money, jokes and promises Couldn’t help thinking that it was just a lie We honoured their underpaid ironclad contracts Yeah right They even managed to promise us the sky You want a little lobster dinner Strung out and broken and on the skids We took what they gave us in old Hollywood It don’t matter now it’s just what we did Paid back some bitch that we understood Paid the price of our childhood our childhood We rewrote the rock ‘n’ roll swindle, telling lies with his cocaine-filled bindles And his B&D rig at his side He never learned his lesson ‘til the very end And now he knows it was a blessing I guess in biz so many scams and bribery are okay Take a backseat to the business of the arts If anyone had told me I would be a part of their game I wouldn’t even take this job from the start Strung out and broken and on the skids We took what they gave us in old Hollywood Paid the price of our childhood our childhood Paid the price of our childhood our childhood Paid the price of our childhood our childhood Paid the price of our childhood our childhood Paid the price of our childhood
