Lyrics
[short intro]
[Verse 1]
I remember growing up on legends and lore,
King Arthur's sword, knights on the moor,
Now I watch the screen, it doesn't feel the same,
Where did our heroes go, replaced in name?
[Pre-Chorus]
They say it's for the best, for progress and change,
But it's hard to watch our history rearranged,
I just want the stories that I used to know,
Where's the truth in the tales they used to show?
[Chorus]
Hey, Hollywood, can you hear us shout?
We're tired of the way you turn it all around,
Give us back the heroes of our past,
Stop erasing history, let the classics last.
Hey, Hollywood!
[instrumental interlude]
[Verse 2]
Robin Hood's not the same, neither is the Bard,
Every tale rewritten, it's hitting us hard,
We want the legends in the colors they came,
Not a forced revision for some modern acclaim.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say it’s inclusive, they say it’s fair,
But erasing our past feels more like a snare,
I just want the stories that I used to know,
Where's the truth in the tales they used to show?
[Chorus]
Hey, Hollywood, can you hear us shout?
We're tired of the way you turn it all around,
Give us back the heroes of our past,
Stop erasing history, let the classics last.
Hey, Hollywood!
[Bridge]
It's not about hate, it's about what's true,
We want the legends as we always knew,
Let’s tell new stories, make space for all,
But don’t rewrite the past, let it stand tall.
[Chorus]
Hey, Hollywood, can you hear us shout?
We're tired of the way you turn it all around,
Give us back the heroes of our past,
Stop erasing history, let the classics last.
[Outro]
So here’s to the legends, the tales we adore,
Let's keep their truth, forevermore,
New stories for now, old ones for then,
Let’s keep the history, let it live again.
