Robbie Williams – Actor

Principal actors to the stage please

Act one is about to begin in 8 seconds

First you can’t act, now you can’t stop

(What’s my motivation?)

I used to like you a lot

(I was the class nerd)

Exactly who I’m supposed to be

(I’m totally Strasberg)

You play a doctor on TV

(What you’re doing is so brave)

Deep down you’re dirty but you try

(I’m a good person)

The truth would break you so you lie

(I want my work to matter)

It’s in the choices that you make

(I want to inspire)

No talent, it’s just fate

I don’t know where you begin

I end, we start again

They need, you love

We all watch the actor acting

The actor acting

Good from far but far from good

(All I have is my instinct)

You love to act, I wish you would

(It’s not acting, it’s re-acting)

Act like you’re not from out of space

(When I’m on stage I feel alive)

You know ambition isn’t grace

(For me it’s the craft)

Made of sex, Maida Vale

(Would I do better in New York?)

You are the Alpha Male

(I’m just too pretty for that role)

You are the good, you are the great

(The words have power)

Now let me fill you with my hate

I don’t know where you begin

I end, we start again

They need, you love

We all watch the actor acting

Swank!

I don’t know where you begin

I end, we start again

They need, you love

We all watch the actor acting

I don’t know where you begin

I end, we start again

They need, you love

We all watch the actor acting

In the future

Everybody will be anonymous

For fifteen minutes

You are, we all are a test card

The stars of CCTV

We are the nature of the beast
