[Chorus]

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you

[Verse 1]

Um, what the hell is that?

Like you never seen a yellow man rap

Half yellow at that

You want the story? Sit back

While I fabricate a life of fame and glory

Wrap it up in a sonority pack

They say in half truths, hearsay and straight deceit

Lies the only kind of tale that's fit to repeat

But between you and me I'm honesty freak

So you can go catch Zs while set up the scene

Year's ‘92 I was goin' nowhere

In the basement of mums twiddling thumbs on welfare

Art school sucked so I dropped out again

Dating single mothers, hah, lucked out again

Playin' in a punk band sucked out again

Heroin made it error and fucked out again

Asian split in half cast geek with a 'fro

All I ever wanted was to freak at a show

You know to me it seemed like the sky was the limit

Never once did I consider why the fuck I just did it

How the world rolled on or how exactly I fitted

Didn't matter I was rapped to get my racket on in it

For the minute that was fine I was blissfully blind

But ever had that feeling that you weren't the kind

I did. And the motherfucker snuck from behind

Smacked me upside the back of my middle class trap

So I took a trip destination third world

When I left the first I was such a sweet little girl

Soon I was fucked up, jaded and emotionally worn

Depressed destroyed persuaded by the truth and reborn

I was like little Alex got clockwork oranged

Conditioned to want to vomit to Ice Cube's ...Most Wanted

America's least wanted outside the door

Just another little rich kid fucking the poor

Met faces shook hands with the century's martyrs

Part of my heart turned to jelly while the other half harden

When I got home nothing seemed the same it seemed like a game

Where the players didn't know each other's faces or names

Was I just...

[Chorus]

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you

[Verse 2]

I was the same some say even worse than the rest

Difference was I had to get this fucking shit off my chest

I was blessed happened to meet a couple of misfits

We misfitted each other like the shoe fitted Cinderella

I tell ya we just did it young, dumb and shameless

Penned songs about sucking cock and got famous

Pretty soon we were doin' it out on tour

Had Tourettes up on the mic like "Fuck you! Goodnight!"

First national, with gay core Pansy Division

Played to bar staff and anybody else who would listen

I was the pinnacle of cynical hypocritical mess

Clinical tests show at your worst you're performing your best

After six months of this we were signed to a deal

After six years of dole it's like, fuck is this real?

Heard on the radio show 'as seen on TV'

Unit shifting bitches in the land of the free but

Success is when you suck less than the rest of the sess

You suck more but for whoring your ass you're adored

Got them stats – second went triple plat

Played the game learned the facts, weighed the shame against the stacks

They grew and so the pressure did too

You forget when you're nothing well you've got nothing to lose

But suddenly I had it all couldn't conceive of more

Only left for me to achieve was that beautiful fall

And so I did elegantly like I was somebody else felt

Nothing detached demolished the life that I'd built

And even now I know I'm still on my way down

Be sure to let you know when I hit the ground

'Cos I'm just

[Chorus]

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you

Reading the script

Baby playing my part

You wanna tip: try and follow your heart

My whole world's sick maybe it's fallin' apart

But it's all I got for you
