theatre
Think about your life
And about all you're doing
We're just characters
Nothing but characters
And this is the movie of our lives
We're playing first role here
That's what we're doing for the others to see
Can't you see it? This is theatre!
The earth is the stage
The stars our audience
Their eyes keep stalking you
Trying to catch you in the act
Each day that goes by it's a different scene
Each year a different act
We're just performing
Can't you see it? This is theatre!
A wrong move and you'll get fired
With a wrong move you'll be punished
The audience will hate you
People will ignore you
And now you're buying tickets to your own show
Everything you say, just be aware
Because they're still there
Can't you see it? This is theatre!
From the break of the dawn until sunset
You act for your parents, your teacher, your boss
And when you're finally alone
Then you just act for yourself
Because you're unable to see the truth
In the middle of this wicked world
Where we're nothing but characters
Living in function of other characters
Limited by the script
Not capable of stepping out of the stage
Unable to make a change
Can't you see it? This is theatre!
