Show me the body
These pictures will shock you
Love is the drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score
Show me the body
404 - Gateway not found
My wife is such a fan
Show me the body
Show me the body now
We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives
And the academy award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the academy award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the academy award for good times goes to you
Show me the body, hikikomori
Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes
Show me the body
The secret of longevity is to stay away from men
Show me the body
Show me the body now
We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives
And the academy award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the academy award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the academy award for good times goes to you
Show me the body
You never realise how much 8 pints are till you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground
Locked up predator
Hunter gatherer
Once rare commodity
Now easily found
Salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic
Show me the body now
We're starring in the movies of our lives
Starring in the movies of our lives
And the academy award for good times goes to you
Yeah, the academy award for good times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamor of applause in every mind
But the academy award for good times goes to you, you
