Everyone's An Actor Lyrics

And I've gone half deaf in one ear

And I'm bleeding out the other

I don't know where to go

Unless someone tells me what to do



I feel like I can't get this one thing off my chest

I've been told to keep a secret

What cannot be laid to rest

Torn away from the weak

And be sure to look toward the light

Say something meaningful

But don't make it sound too trite



Put the movie on side one

Sit back and have some fun

You might think that I'm a joker

But I'm not the only one



These are social graces like hello and goodbye

But we're busting at the seams to gossip and tell lies

Everyone's an actor and everyone's your friend

Looking out for your best interest to fuck you in the end



It's only a matter of time

Before they get you somehow

And they'll give some good reason

Why you should stay at home and rest



If you don't do drugs and fuck

Then what good are you to me?

Just go back to where you came from

You're no good to us around here

Please don't try to make this seem

Like something that it's not



Put the movie on side two

I have nothing left to do

You may think that I'm a joker

But I'm really just a fool
