(Principal actors to the stage please. Act one is about to begin in 8 seconds.)
First you can't act, now you can't stop (What's my motivation) I used to like you a lot (I was the class nerd) Exactly who I'm supposed to be? (I'm totally Strasberg) You play a doctor on TV (What you're doing is so brave)
Deep down you're dirty, but you try (I'm a good person) The truth would break you, so you lie (I want my work to matter) It's in the choices that you make (I want to inspire) No talent, just fate
I don't know where you begin I end We start Again I need You love We all watch The actor acting The actor acting
Good from far but far from good (All I have is my instinct) You left to act, I wish you would (It's not acting, it's reacting) Act like you're not from out of space (When I'm on stage I feel alive) You know, ambition isn't grace (For me it's the craft)
Made of sex, made of ale (Would I do better in New York?) You are the alpha male (I'm just too pretty for that role) You are the good, you are the great (The words have power) Now let me fill you with my hate
I don't know where you begin I end We start Again I need You love We all watch The actor acting
