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
|
|
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
