So you think you know me, Because you've seen me on tv? Well I apologise, for all those lies I'm not what you think you see.
The Silver Screen is mysterious My performances drive you delirious! But it's the tricks from hollywood flicks That make acting so serious
It's a ridiculous business, living this way Skilful deceit makes the audience pay So people can fluster for the latest blockbuster For an action packed everyday!
I'm not just the girl with pretty features Or the hero fighting vicious creatures I'm not even real so what's the big deal? For hiding the truth, I'm a preacher!
So you can see through my disguise Through the pathetic miserable cries Woe in the scene, but its not what I mean When I yell out in surprise!
My scripted emotions flicker in sight Radio waves traveling, sending light Pixels form faces and faraway places Turning beautiful daytime to night
So as an actor, I'm not how I seem I'm different to who you see in your dreams Not riding a dragon, or drinking a flagon Or throwing a pie filled with cream
Not a TV villain, that's not my life That beautiful actress isn't really my wife I'm a man just like you, with a job to do Not some madman wielding a knife.
So think again about how you feel When you only see what I want to reveal I won't repent, my life is content Lying about what is real.
