Hollywood Got It So Wrong

by Stuart Logan - Sagittarius

Hollywood Got It So Wrong

We will always remember his name
William Murdoch's brave heart will go on
James Cameron can you explain 
why Hollywood got it so wrong

Once again The Titanic she sails
Celine Dion sings a love song
it's a history lesson that fails
and Hollywood got it so wrong

As they present the memorial prize
William Murdoch's truth will be strong
can you admit that you told us some lies
and Hollywood got it so wrong

As your sacred dollars are made
and the oscars have dazzled and shone
the dishonour you film has portrayed 
and Hollywood got it so wrong

Some facts from you film are removed
though time and tide they are gone
the reports from survivors have proved
that Hollywood got it so wrong

'Goodbye and good luck' where his cries
washed overboard was the one
who let people live as he died
and Hollywood got it so wrong

Why don't you come to Dalbeattie
and account where your screenplay is from
you can reveal to all of the children
how Hollywood got it so wrong
