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
