Movie Star

(album: BOOT - 2018)

You think privacy is overrated
Your dreams are way more important
You love to prove your magic touch
And that's why you talk way too much
You didn't have breakfast this morning
You want to be perfect when you go out and face the world
But I blame your ego and all of these people
I'm always cautious and they want the sequel
But I haven't written the first one
I put my pennies on the table as I shoot at the cashier
That's the movie of the year

You want to get a brand new face to go with your evening suit
You want to be a movie star, do it for the ego boost
And we can self-medicate, and tell ourselves we ain't fools
We all want to be movie stars but none of us have a clue

Your face caked up just like Andy Kauffman
Going out with a nosebleed, coughing
You say I don't do it too much
But your life is a naked lunch
Smoke it all to the roach while the parents are close
'Cause if they don't ask no questions they are fun

You want to get a brand new face to go with your evening suit
You want to be a movie star, do it for the ego boost
And we can self-medicate, and tell ourselves we ain't fools
We all want to be movie stars but none of us have a clue

Now wonder what's coming next
Maybe tattoos on my face when I have no room on my chest
Dime bags and pearl in the hills, driving up here was a quest
'Cause every time she took a right she should have taken a left
She said "you don't got a fast car, why I gotta show respect?"
Bitch, I must've not heard you correct
You can leave 'cause in my head I think you've already left
I must be two minutes ahead like Nicky Cage was in Next

You want to get a brand new face to go with your evening suit
You want to be a movie star, do it for the ego boost
And we can self-medicate, and tell ourselves we ain't fools
We all want to be movie stars but none of us have a clue
