Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The click-clack of a typewriter
Like the sound of a tap dancer
There's no way to redraft history
Have you no sense of decency?
[Verse 2]
Everyone's a critic
Is it the Depression?
Hungry kids with no solution
Please, spare them from your blacklist
You may have misread "communist"
It was just a screenplay
[Verse 3]
Ten motion picture writers
They refused to name names
Ten months in the big house
Ghostwriting just to make ends meet
Haunted by their names
[Chorus]
Hollywood Ten
They're painted red
Hollywood Ten
They're on the blacklist
[Chorus]
Hollywood Ten
They're painted red
Hollywood Ten
They're on the blacklist
[Bridge]
You can come out from the shadows
A dandy in the moonlight
No need to use a pen name anymore
"The Brave One," just like "Spartacus"
Don't you lose your voice
[Outro]
The click-clack of a typewriter
Like the sound of a tap dancer
There's no way to redraft history
Have you no sense of decency?
