That Shit on the Stage
from Dissolution by Vern Oldham
lyrics
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You're better in real life.
You put on such a show
For so many years.
You'd get an oscar
If it were a movie
'Cause you had me convinced
That you loved me.
Look what happened since.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You're better in real life.
You turned the miserable page
Of that script.
You won't win best actress,
Only supporting.
It was just a cameo
In the movie
Of my life.
I've seen actresses
Fall in love with guys.
They say their acting but
They're only telling lies.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You acted your real life.
You wasted all those years
On this fool.
You'll never get that
Standing ovation
You were looking for.
You're a liar and nothing more.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You're better in real life.
You put on such a show
For so many years.
You'd get an oscar
If it were a movie
'Cause you had me convinced
That you loved me.
Look what happened since.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You're better in real life.
You turned the miserable page
Of that script.
You won't win best actress,
Only supporting.
It was just a cameo
In the movie
Of my life.
I've seen actresses
Fall in love with guys.
They say their acting but
They're only telling lies.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
You acted your real life.
You wasted all those years
On this fool.
You'll never get that
Standing ovation
You were looking for.
You're a liar and nothing more.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
Fuck that shit on the stage.
