The Hollywood Blacklist
Life seems fine and life seems great
 Till suspicion killed that fate
 this started only with one wisper
 Could the voice have been much crisper?
 They questioned you, they questioned me,
 They questioned one who gave the key.
 You've been trialed for suspicions
 You've been asked to pay tuitions
 So you are off to testify
 And return with no freedom
 You return home with no soul
 People have no freedom and have no voice
 Stripped of their own back bone
 Left with the fear to believe in your own beliefs
 IT WAS THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST...
 A COMMUNIST HUNT!
 The government was Elmur Fudd
 The communist party, Mr. Buggs
 Now Elmur asks, "were you at that meeting?
 Were you at that rally?
 Are you a member of the communist party?"
 Buggs yells back, "You can take my money, home, and job.Lock me up amd take my freedom. Take my soul to burn as coal."
 But after this, don't expect him to change.
 Don't expect him to name the names.
 Feels like hell,
 I begin to wonder how this began or how'd this start.
 A single meeting, a single rally... Yes I'm a member of the communist party.
