Ariel Pink - Thespian City lyrics

And we started to act... Like fools we acted We acted like fools And didn't we like it (We like it, yeah We like it) Everybody liked it Tell me - what's up with all the groups around these days Lemme just say I think it's such a shame How all the bands always play live and people pay To see these phonies on stage who only imitate, hey! Rock n' roll's dead! It's all in your head! Thespian City Thespian City Now all the real music lives underground It's living on tape It's lost & found And while everyone's going downtown to escape I'm under headphones in my brain with a gun in my mouth that's how you do it, do it clown! Thespian City (I'm a thespian) Thespian City Though I'm back in the ... and All people want Is people they know Talk about the people that you see in the show All the great writing's made right at home All the best sh**'s spared when you're lone Photographs and headphones and microphones Hit the pipe once, ready to go Performers are dull just guys with guitars singers and drummers who wanna be stars pretending to rock cause they know what it means pretending to be thespian, thespian pretending to be me that's T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y Thespian city
