Make No Mistake

I bet you'd feel like talking if I was filming a movie
 About your life and what it really means
 From the outside looking in
 As shadows fill the wall of a cave in a downtown theater
 All your mistakes add up, well, it's a real tearjerker
 Your life is such a mess, but everyone's impressed
 When I play
 Make no mistake
 I play, make no mistake
 It's not the way it should be, it's how it's gonna be
 It's not a flashback, it's a memory
 All eyes are fixed on you
 Fade in, your past crashes in, waves on the lawn
 Fade out, your last laugh lasts a little too long
 In your contract, there's a clause, so you better save your applause
 When I play
 Make no mistake
 I play, make no mistake
 I bet you'd find inspiration if I loaned you a car
 With a map to the homes of porno stars
 I know you dream about that stuff
 On video when you're alone you can't get enough of her
 But inside her own home, boy, you can't get it up for her
 Send in the stunt man
 Your family will be so proud
 You're gonna have to peel them from the couch
 When I play
 Make no mistake
 I play, make no mistake
 If I say act right now in something you believe in
 I bet you'd say all the good ideas have already been taken
 So let the vultures have their way
 Emptying the shelves in the bargain basements
 Filling the same frames with different places
 Take one last look at yourself
 Because the film is running out
