The Actor |
| Principal actors to the stage please |
| Act One is about to begin in eight 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 supposed 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 |
| I don’t know where you begin |
| I end, we start again |
| They need you, love |
| We all watch the actor acting |
| 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 reacting) |
| 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 |
| I don’t know where you begin |
| I end, we start again |
| They need you, love |
| We all watch the actor acting |
| Monroe |
| (Monroe) |
| Barrymore |
| (Barrymore) |
| Mansfield |
| (Mansfield) |
| D-D-D-D-Dame-D-Dame-D-Dame Judi Dench |
| (Judi Dench) |
| Madonna |
| Ritchie |
| (Ritchie…Ritchie, Ritchie, Ritchie) |
| Streep |
| Close |
| Hepburn |
| Burt Reynolds |
| Niven |
| Danson |

| Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin, Joaquin |
| Swank |
| I don’t know where you begin |
| I end, we start again |
| They need you, love |
| We all watch the actor acting |
| I don’t know where you begin |
| I end, we start again |
| They need you, love |
| We all watch the actor acting |
| 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 |
