Thespian City Lyrics

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

And we started to act
Like fools we acted
We acted like fools
Didn't we like it
Everybody liked it

Tell me - what's up with all the groups
around these days
Lemme just say I think it's such a shame
How all the bands always play live
and people pay
To see these phonies on stage who only imitate key
Rock n' roll's dead so keep your head

Thespian City
Thespian City

Now all the real music lives underground
It's living on tape

It's lost & found
And while everyone's going downtown to escape
I'm under headphones in my brain with a gun in my mouth
that's how you do it, do it clown!

Thespian City
Thespian City

Performers are dull
just guys with guitars
singers and drummers
they wanna be stars
pretending to rock cause they know what it means
pretending to be
thespian, thespian
pretending to be me
that's T H E S P I A N C I T Y
