[Verse 1]
Curtains raised
You took the stage
You got your claim to fame
A standing ovation
Now they all know your name
And you were dumb enough to let your biggest fans backstage
And didn't understand when they stopped saying "Break a leg"
Now they only clap when you exit the stage!
[Verse 2]
You cry on cue, mid-lie
Fingers crossed, hopes are high
You're confident and natural
You've read every single line
No practice and it's effortless
Your smile reaches both your eyes
It's easy to deceive, when you believe in your own lies
[Pre-Chorus]
A shining star
You're an idol
You're actor of the year
With an Oscar level performance bringing everyone to tears
Some out of love, some from awe, and some only out of fear
[Chorus]
Topping charts
Making headlines
Parties, sex, and white lines
Riding the high in a blinding spotlight
Where everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's all gonna be just fine
Can't see the truth when it's too bright
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's fine in your spotlight
[Verse 3]
Knew your mark
You hit your cue
Played the part
They had no clue
'Til some bratty stage rat, who's great at talking smack, broke out of the back room
Snapped a pic, and somehow it seemed to find the ones you were lying to
Oops
[Verse 4]
Breaking News
You're a fraud
Show's been canceled
You've been caught
Quiet the scandal
How surprising
OMG!
What a shock
To everyone except for those who knew how much you sucked
So that leaves you, plus the thousands online who are actually just bots
[Chorus]
Topping charts
Making headlines
Parties, sex, and white lines
Riding the high in a blinding spotlight
Where everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's all gonna be just fine
Can't see the truth when it's too bright
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's fine in your spotlight
[Bridge]
Non salut
Bid adieu
No encore
Please no more
C'est la vie
Please take your leave
No need to bow to rows of empty seats
The gig is up
Word got out
You're not what you think you see
[Final Chorus]
Topping charts
Making headlines
Parties, sex, and white lines
Riding the high in a blinding spotlight
Where everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
It's all gonna be just fine
Can't see the truth when it's too bright
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
[Outro]
Topping charts
Making headlines
Facades and all your white lies
You're burning up in a blinding spotlight!
You can't see the truth when it's too bright
But we can all see it just fine
So everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be just fine
Everything's gonna be all right
I hope you enjoyed your spotlight
