The Actors Opprobrium chords by Of Montreal

D               G      D      G
I guess I should have known to stay away
A                       D      G
From a snuff film by Jean Genet
D       G      D              G
But the cash was good and the
A                               C
Director gave me the biggest scene
                Em              A              E
What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins
        A       Bb             A
Appear picketing in angry protest?
        D       A
Oh, those sloppy tarts
        D       A
Have sulphurized hearts

D G D G
Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue
A   D G
In a coffin after being hung
D G D G
Does make strange erotic cinema
C                       G      Bb
But that was the great master’s vision
A                       G
And the actors agree to portray
                Dm              A
The fiend is best in a death fantasy
Because when one is licking the knife
A                       A7
Ah, well, that is truly the life

C                       Em
Oh, what does it mean
A E    Bb A
When the stagehand approaches
Wheeling in a guillotine?
Let’s play nice
D    A
Yes, I want to be a star
D       A
But that’s going too far


Yes, I’m still smarting from the bite
Of coital sessions in gelatinal light
I’m questioning my chosen career
A  Bb A D
Don’t think I’ll be attending the premier
