Act one, of the world, past curtains And we are merely players in this short run And we throw tomatoes And now we've made a salad of the stage
Front and center, no one enters And no one ever has and we're all watching Waiting for the action call
Though we all know how it should go (yeah, we know it all) To do is such a bother, leave it to the rest We know the reason for our troubles, put a finger on It's always been the other, blame it on the rest
Play our part so well At the door we entered hollow, open up, say ahh Another power fills the vacuum, claim it for the rest An authority has spoken, said to carry on With a finger on the button, put you to the test
Act one, of the world, past curtains And we are merely players in this short run And we throw tomatoes And now we've made a salad of the stage
Front and center, no one enters And no one ever has and now the truth You're holding back is bleeding through
Though we all know how it should go (yeah, we know it all) To do is such a bother, leave it to the rest We know the reason for our troubles, put a finger on It's always been the other, blame it on the rest
Blame it on the rest Blame it on the rest Blame it on the rest
Act one, of the world, past curtains And we are merely players in this short run And we throw tomatoes And now we've made a salad of the stage
