          C# minorC#m
We’re all actors

            C# minorC#m

You tried to glue it
                     G#G#
but the holes were colossal
           C# minorC#m
It’s all a rat trap
        E MajorE
full of beautiful thieves
        F#F#
selling infamy
           G#G#
with evil apostles
    C# minorC#m
You know it’s time
   E MajorE
to leave this place
F#F#                G#G#
Sugar, this ain’t Oscar bait
