Lyrics

[Intro]
Ever since you were a kid
You could cry on command
Everybody said it's a gift
You should use it whenever you can
You can do it big
Or you can do it like you don't really care
Just tell you where
Turns out almost anyone can do it
[Chorus]
It's a scam
Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket
You're breaking into acting
You'll do anything to be discovered
It's getting out of hand
Your mouth is always full of blood packets
You're breaking into acting
Gonna make me a fan
[Verse 1]
Give you something you can work with
And you're gonna make it worth the price of tickets
You've read everything they've ever written
About how to use your eyes to succeed in business
Let me know when we should start
Or are we already started?
I don't care
Is anybody there?
[Chorus]
It's a scam
Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket
You're breaking into acting
You'll do anything to be discovered
It's getting out of hand
Your mouth is always full of blood packets
You're breaking into acting
I completely understand
[Bridge]
You give all you got
But, for the record
I don't believe it at all
Not for a second
[Chorus]
It's a scam
Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket
You're breaking into acting
You'll do anything to be discovered
It's getting out of hand
Your mouth is always full of blood packets
You're breaking into acting
You're gonna make me a fan
