| Story Behind the Song
 This is a song about the pirating of movie videos.  What is it like for someone to bring a video camera in to a theater and why do we watch them even if the quality is so poor?

 A bottle of rum and buckets of pop corn
 A bottle of rum and buckets of pop corn
 Sending shivers down blockbuster’s spine
 An eye patch, wooden leg and plastic wrap
 
 Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video, Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video
 Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown, Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown
 
 Silhouettes move across the screen
 Silhouettes move across the screen
 Cell phones ringing from his pocket.
 Buried in California with remote control
 Interruptions, Interruptions, Interruptions, Interruptions!
 
 His camera hides under a coat
 His camera hides under a coat
 You made your TV an outlaw
 You made your TV an outlaw
 Muffled sound is good enough
 Muffled sound is good enough, Blurry image too
 A star on a tiny island, electrified
 
 Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video, Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video
 Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown, Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown
 
 He paid an usher $500
 He paid an usher $500
 Bought on a street corner for only five
 He’s gunning for you on the horizon
 He’s gunning for you on the horizon
 Buried in California with remote control
 China stole my royalties, China stole my royalties
 A Skull and crossbones on a VCR, A Skull and crossbones on a VCR
 Hoist the sales
 Hoist the sales
 Hoist the sales
 
 Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video, Cheating Hollywood, Pirate video
 Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown, Enjoy it at home, fortune unknown
 Buried in California with remote control
 A star on a tiny island, electrified
