Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Show me the body

These pictures will shock you

Love is a drag we don't need any more

We don't need to score

Show me the body

404, gateway not found

My wife is such a fan

Show me the body

Show me the body, now

[Verse 2]

We're starring in the movies of our lives

Starring in the movies of our lives

[Verse 3]

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you, ooh

There's a camera held in every hand

The clamor of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

[Verse 4]

Show me the body, hikikomori

Through liquid crystal we look at the world

From our parents' homes

Show me the body

The secret of longevity

Is to stay away from them

Show me the body

Show me the body, now

[Verse 5]

We're starring in the movies of our lives

Starring in the movies of our lives

[Verse 6]

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you, ooh

There's a camera held in every hand

The clamor of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for good times goes to you

[Verse 7]

Show me the body

You never realized how much eight pints are

'Til they see them on the ground

They cover so much ground

Locked up predator, hunter, gatherer

Once rare commodity, now easily found

Salt, sugar, and fat

There's heavy traffic

Show me the body, now

[Verse 8]

We're starring in the movies of our lives

Starring in the movies of our lives

[Verse 9]

And the Academy Award for good times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you, ooh

There's a camera held in every hand

The clamor of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for good times goes to you, you
