The Act

Now you've been running around here
With your life in a daze
You've got your soul in the bottle
You've got your head in a maze
Now you've been nailing that script down
And you've been hitting your marks
Nobody seeing your true face
Nobody hearing your thoughts

How does it feel
To keep on walking the walk
How does it feel
To keep on running the clock

And you've been nailing that script down

And now you find yourself starring
You’re just a face on the set
You got your age in the mirror
You got your money in debts
If all the world is a stage now
Who gets the Oscar for this?
And there's no standing ovation
Cuz no one cares what it is

How does it feel
To keep on walking the walk
How does it feel
To keep running the clock

And all the world is a stage now

Get back
Get back in the grind
Get back
Get back in your line

We got some scenes to play
It's just like yesterday
It cuts like razor blades
Stage blood on set today
They're in the cutting room
You feel them cutting you
The reels they spin there's nothing to see

This is the act
