When did life become the new Hollywood
and us actors playing a part
Who's directing what used to be a blockbuster
Which is now quickly becoming a flop
Who wrote this screenplay anyways
Possibly Stephen King?
Who taught us how and what to say
All these lines of make believe
Who holds up the Cue cards and hollers out action,
quiet on the set we're about to begin
Who chooses the leading ladies
and picks out the leading men
When was it most of us became stand ins
filling up space and time
Not even mentioned in the credits
A bit part in this life
By just surviving the daily we all should get Oscars
No matter the part we play
When did life become the new Hollywood
That my friend is hard to say
