Thespian City

And we started to act...

Like fools we acted

We acted like fools

And didn't we like it

(We like it, yeah

We like it)

Everybody liked it

Tell me - what's up with all the groups

around these days

Lemme just say I think it's such a shame

How all the bands always play live

and people pay

To see these phonies on stage who only imitate, hey!

Rock n' roll's dead! It's all in your head!

Thespian City

Thespian City

Now all the real music lives underground

It's living on tape

It's lost & found

And while everyone's going downtown to escape

I'm under headphones in my brain with a gun in my mouth

that's how you do it, do it clown!

Thespian City

(I'm a thespian)

Thespian City

Though I'm back in the [?] and

All people want

Is people they know

Talk about the people that you see in the show

All the great writing's made right at home

All the best shit's spared when you're lone

Photographs and headphones and microphones

Hit the pipe once, ready to go

Performers are dull

just guys with guitars

singers and drummers

who wanna be stars

pretending to rock cause they know what it means

pretending to be

thespian, thespian

pretending to be me

that's T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y

T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y
