Now they got the (sellin face rub) And they laugh at the ad and how much space it takes up Is this real life or a movie or real life? How do we decipher real left from real right? Guess we're gonna have to keep it up alright Yeah we got a deadline headin' into tomorrow night This town's a backdrop setting in a hollywood studio Here we are the actors and audience Our life is a show oh We played the role of things you out to know This town's a backdrop setting for the drama we call our lives woah I think that you ought to know We're just actors Playin' characters Ain't that somethin' Think that you ought to know Life's a show Gotta think about that for sure Have you or anyone you know ever gone to an audition for a show and had to f** to get the role? Have you or anyone you know ever done coke in a stall right off of the toilet bowl? Me and everyone I see seem to be entwined parts of a movie called melancholy sunshine We laugh and we cry with camera men on standby waiting for an after school moment in our eyes This town's a backdrop setting in a hollywood studio Here we are the actors and audience Our life is a show oh We played the role of things you ought to know This town's a backdrop setting for the drama we call our lives woah I'll play this part forever more Until d**h knocks on your front door I hope you think about this every day And I will not wait for something more To find its way to my front door I'll help you think about this every day (The beginning of) a fun time Until I lost my sunshine (I'm gonna get it again) (I'm gonna get it again tonight) Who's scripting my lines? Who's scripting my lies? I'm gonna get it again [x2] You watch I think that you ought to know We're just actors Playin' characters Ain't that somethin' Think that you ought to know Life's a show Gotta think about that for sure Leftover is our formidable apathy Leavin' us in unforgettable agony Never wanted to go back to that strategy (so I'm losing) control of idle happenings This town's a backdrop setting in a hollywood studio Here we are the actors and audience Our life is a show oh We played the role of things you out to know This town's a backdrop setting for the drama we call our lives woah
