Act The Part lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Unseen
Album: Internal Salvation

Lyrics

You're screaming out the orders
But you refuse to lend a hand
Then you run back to your fortress
Just a fragile castle made of sand
Like a sheep in the wolf's clothing
Your bark is far worse than your bite
Like a snake in the garden of eden
Like a shadow in the night

No future - act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play the game
Don't live your youth in vain

So dry your bloodshot eyes
Of the bitter tears you wept
Yeah, is this the life that you want
Or the one that you accept
Your words all sound so scripted
Your playing another role
And you'll give a great performance
But you've got, no control

No future - act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play the game
Don't live your youth in vain

When it's all been said and done
And after the smoke has cleared
Did you speak from the heart
Or was it what they wanted to hear
You act your part just like a puppet
You fucking make me sick

No future - act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play the game
Don't live your youth in vain
