Текст песни Thespian City - Ariel Pink

And we started to act.
Like fools we acted
We acted like fools
And didn't we like it
(We like it, yeah
We like it)
Everybody liked it
Tell me - what's up with all the groups
Around these days
Lemme just say I think it's such a shame
How all the bands always play live
And people pay
To see these phonies on stage who only imitate, hey!
Rock 'n' roll's dead! It's all in your head!
Thespian City
Thespian City
Now all the real music lives underground
It's living on tape
It's lost and found
And while everyone's going downtown to escape
I'm under headphones in my brain with a gun in my mouth
That's how you do it, do it clown!
Thespian City
(I'm a thespian)
Thespian City
Though I'm back in the ... and
All people want
Is people they know
Talk about the people that you see in the show
All the great writing's made right at home
All the best shit's spared when you're lone
Photographs and headphones and microphones
Hit the pipe once, ready to go
Performers are dull
Just guys with guitars
Singers and drummers
Who wanna be stars
Pretending to rock 'cause they know what it means
Pretending to be
Thespian, thespian
Pretending to be me
That's T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y
T-H-E-S-P-I-A-N C-I-T-Y
