Code Name What - Hollywood One

Kids it used to be illegal for you to smoke that jay in your hand
Although that never stopped me when I was a younger man
And it used to be illegal for me to drink this tonic and gin
But luckily that law got dropped before my time began
It used be illegal for us to be naked up on stage
Which is crazy cause now they play pornography behind that band that plays

It used to be illegal for us to have all this fun, but son, that was back before Hollywood won

My grandpa used to tell me how he used to watch the news
Downtown at the theatre before living rooms had tubes
But in the sixties his family got a TV with an antenna
And the family could watch the news while they ate their dinner
But it used to be illegal for them to film such colorful torture
Or so they say, this wasn't my life this was someone's that was former when

It used to be illegal for us to have all this fun, but son, that was back before Hollywood won

Kids used to get thrown in jail for listening to rock n' roll
Well, that hasn't really changed because the lawman has no soul
I know it's hard to believe but kids, we used to not have TV's on our wrists
And rock n' roll tried dear daughters and sons, but in the end old Hollywood won
It used to be illegal for us the actors to fuck on camera
But then they changed the rules in the name of good old honest cinema

It used o be illegal for us to have all this fun, but son, that was back before Hollywood won
