Living in a movie

I've read the scripts and changed the endings
I've fired directors and stopped pretending
the lights go down the curtain's closed
this actors life has been exposed

you and I both know how the story goes
it's a never-ending plot...exactly what you thought

all the cameras make it seem so real
but all the sweat makes the makeup peel
the lights go down the curtain's closed
this actors life has been exposed

you and I both know how the story goes
it's a never-ending plot...exactly what you.... thought
exactly what you thought.... it's always what you thought

you and I both know the credits never roll
