(Don't pull back the curtain) How could you ever be certain you'll find me? There could be infinite curtains behind me You want to know where I "bury" the "bodies?" Become a target, scary assignment They watched the pot, it was stirring in private I want that crowd to observe me in silence Stay in the lobby, you weren't invited You watch your tongue, I'll make sure that you bite it Don't try to peek in the wings I know what you think of my show before you begin to think I know what I mean, I don't need it to sync They play a role without meaning a thing Don't tell your hero to dream of nothing And don't make a villain the key to a scene This is my show I leave it out on stage, then my eyes roll They want encore, they insist on guessing my role If I play a hero, then they want to see me spiral I portray a villain, hate the feeling, but they buy more This is my show (my rules) I can't represent antagonists as idols I can't be a villain, can't play anti-heroes Can't perpetuate that evil, or it's my fault They judging by what I'm not doing I don't engage in their arguing The curtain is closed, I am not Truman I know they suspect I am not human When they bring in a camera to document I want you to believe I'm innocuous But if they try to peek, then they're honk-shoeing (yeah) You cannot view what the star of the show sees Even from those seats You on your toes You out on a limb, I'm landing on both feet I might be somewhere behind the curtain, but you won't see All I hope is you identify the moral And don't stop 'cause you'll never find a total (Yeah, uh) Won't be defined by the sins of the father Got to transcend to a different genre I am not driven by hunger I've always bitten a lot more than I can chew off Never unhinging my jaw, though I think God knew that their kid was a goner They paid my way, they're a cynical sponsor Feels like there's something in the water Don't swim in the harbor Or harbor resentment, 'cause that's a commitment to honor List is a charter, really can't get any longer Feel like a kid when I'm on the stage Delivering lines of someone else's show Honored by the velvet rope But you shouldn't need a telescope to see a glaring plot hole They only want my encore... They only want my encore when I'm the villain on the show I think they never got my role But I'll keep holding out for a true "bravo" This is my show I leave it out on stage, then my eyes roll They want encore, they insist on guessing my role If I play a hero, then they want to see me spiral I portray a villain, hate the feeling, but they buy more This is my show (my rules) I can't represent antagonists as idols I can't be a villain, I can't play anti-heroes Can't perpetuate that evil, or it's my fault
