THE SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN LYRICS

"Fat Actor"

Did you see yourself up on the wall
In the dark and chilly silent room?
And abject failure disguised as art
Or the gasping death of a lazy fool?

Can you take yourself to task?
The great man, he was overblown
What were you doing standing here?
Said sayonara, out the door

Watch his waddle right away
Reputation grows
Doubt becomes his final fate
But he'll never be anything

Was there anything you've ever done
That really ever worked out right?
What you've done is all but worthless-
You'd better disappear from sight

Can you take yourself to task?
The great man, he was overblown
What were you doing standing here?
Said sayonara, out the door

Watch his waddle right away
Reputation grows
Doubt becomes his final fate
But he'll never be anything

You can't stop what we see
Hating what you'll be
Doubt becomes his final fate
And it all adds up to nothing

You saw the view from your hotel room,
But you never knew just where you stood
Came to realize, after all
That you never were any good.

So go and take yourself to task,
The great man, he was overblown
What are you doing standing here?
Said sayonara, everyone
