Robbie Williams - The Actor

Principal actors to the stage please,
Act One is about to begin
in 8 seconds.


First you can't act, now you can't stop,
What's my motivation?
I used to like you... a lot,
I was the class nerd
Exactly who I'm s'posed to be,
I'm totally Strasberg
You play a doctor on TV,
What you're doing is SO brave)


Deep down you're dirty but you try,
I'm a good person
The truth would break you so you lie,
I want my work to matter
It's in the choices that you make,
I want to inspire
No talent, just fate.

[Chorus]
I don't know where you begin,
I end, we start
Again,
They need, you love,
We all watch
The Actor Acting.


Good from far but far from good,
All I have is my instinct
You love to act, I wish you would,
It's not acting, it's re-acting
Act like you're not from out of space,
When I'm on stage I feel alive
You know ambition isn't grace,
For me it's the craft


Made of Sex, Maida Vale,
Would I do better in New York
You are the Alpha Male,
I'm just too pretty for that role
You are the good, you are the great,
The words have power
Now let me fill you with my hate.

[Chorus]


Monroe,
Barrymore,
Mansfield,
Dame Judi Dench,
Madonna Ritchie,
Ritchie,
Streep,
Close,
Hepburn,
Burt Reynolds.
Niven,
Danson,
Bundy,
Bardot,
Joaquin,
Swank.

[Chorus]


In the future,
Everybody will be anonymous for fifteen minutes,
You are, we all are a test card,
The stars of CCTV,
We are the nature of the beast.
