Lyrics
An Actor's Revenge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An actor will seek revenge.
I don't know why and I don't know when.
There'll be talk. There'll be action.
Boys demanding satisfaction
From girls. Oh, you'd hate to play a girl!
An actor will seek revenge...
He came on too strong.
He was weird and he was wrong.
A bloodless cop at dawn
Throwing everybody out.
The kids twist and shout until the womb fucking wrecks it!
A boulevardier might say -
"Tomorrow's another day."
Alright, yes, but it's also just another mess!
Crime and Punishment - no, that's not what I meant!
An actor will seek revenge.
I don't know why and I don't know when.
There'll be talk. There'll be action.
Boys demanding satisfaction
From girls. Oh, you'd hate to be a girl!
An actor will seek revenge
Upon the ones who fed him those ridiculous lines
Saying - "What we really need now is an emotional history
Of the Lower Eastside, cause it was wild! It was wild!"
Oh no, here we go again...
(Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da... Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da da ba da!)
