I think that you oughta know
We're just actors
playin' characters
Ain't that somethin'
think that you oughta know
life's a show
gotta think about that for sure
Have you ever gotten stuck in makeup
doin' a commercial for a product you don't like the taste of?
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
(pay my cut no more no less __ on flim)
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 fuck 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 death 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
