Academy Award

Playing for the Bleachers now
Letting them beat you
And showing them how
Dangling yourself from the cross
All out of nails
But here's your hammer, boss
And the Academy Award for
Ridiculous over-acting goes to you
So get on up there and give us a speech
Taking all the attention away
After your performance
There's no one left to nominate
Dangling yourself from the cross
All out of nails, but, uh
Here's your hammer, boss
And the Academy Award for
Embarrassing melodrama goes to you
So get on up there and give us a speech
Don't forget the little people
Who never were around
And the bigger ones who kept you down
Always knew you could do it
We always knew you could do it
Jason Caddell!
Don't forget the little people
Who never were around
And the bigger ones who let you down
Always knew you could do it
We always knew you could do it
We always knew you could do it
You couldn't do it without us
We always knew you could do it
