The Academy Award Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Show me the body, these pictures will shock you
Love is the drag we don't need anymore
We don't need to score, show me the body
404 – gateway not found
My wife is such a fan, show me the body
Show me the body now

[Pre-Chorus]
We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives

[Chorus]
And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamour of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

[Verse 2]
Show me the body, Hikikomori
Through liquid crystal we look at the world
From our parents' homes, show me the body
The secret of longevity
Is to stay away from men, show me the body
Show me the body now

[Pre-Chorus]
We're starring in the movies of our lives
We're starring in the movies of our lives

[Chorus]
And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamour of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

[Verse 3]
Show me the body, you never realise
How much eight pints are 'til you see them on the ground
They cover so much ground, laptop predator
Hunter-gatherer, once-rare commodity
Now easily found, salt, sugar and fat
There's heavy traffic, show me the body now

[Pre-Chorus]
We're starring in the movies of our lives
Starring in the movies of our lives

[Chorus]
And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you
There's a camera held in every hand
The clamour of applause in every mind
But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you, you
