Method Acting

Played a criminal case

I've yet to pay off the ransom

The polygraph states

That her heart's only made out of plastic

I've practiced my lines

The critics decline

Maybe practice doesn't make perfect every time

Not every time

If we don't get the joke

Then why are we laughing?

The curtain's gone down

Yeah, but there was a masterful ending

Let's tear down the stage

I can't stand the sight of

This dark empty spotlight

Method acting no longer working

With all these little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

Maybe they're not so little after all

No no no

You've got to dig yourself out

Dig yourself out

Dig yourself out

Or you'll never see the daylight

No no no

It all adds up somehow

If you've nothing to hide

Then why go lying about me?

Nothing to prove

So why go on pretending?

I had a dream

I took an oath

The bible was missing

Method acting no longer working

We're just critics little darlings

With all these little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

Maybe they're not so little after all

No no no

You've got to dig yourselves out

Dig yourselves out

Dig yourself out

Or you'll never see the daylight

No no no

It all adds up somehow

Little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies

(Little white lies

Little white lies

Little white lies)
