Song lyrics The actor by Robbie Williams

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

[Verse One:]
First you canīt act, now you canīt stop,
(Whatīs my motivation?)
I used to like you... a lot,
(I was the class nerd)
Exactly who Iīm sīposed to be,
(Iīm totally Strasberg)
You play a doctor on TV,
(What youīre doing is SO brave)

[Verse Two:]
Deep down youīre dirty but you try,
(Iīm a good person)
The truth would break you so you lie,
(I want my work to matter)
Itīs in the choices that you make,
(I want to inspire)
No talent, just fate.

[Chorus:]
I donīt know where you begin,
I end, we start
Again,
They need, you love,
We all watch
The Actor Acting.

[Verse Three:]
Good from far but far from good,
(All I have is my instinct)
You love to act, I wish you would,
(Itīs not acting, itīs re-acting)
Act like youīre not from out of space,
(When Iīm on stage I feel alive)
You know ambition isnīt grace,
(For me itīs the craft)

[Verse Four:]
Made of Sex, Maida Vale,
(Would I do better in New York)
You are the Alpha Male,
(Iīm 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]

[Outro Speech:]
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.
