Lyrics for Academy Award
Playing for the bleachers now Letting them beat you and showing them how Dangling yourself from the cross All out of nails But here's your hammer, boss And the Academy Award for ridiculous over-acting goes to you So get on up there and give us a speech Taking all the attention away After your performance, there's no one left to nominate Dangling yourself from the cross All out of nails But here's your hammer, boss And the Academy Award for embarrassing melodrama goes to you So get on up there and give us a speech Don't forget the little people Who never were around And the bigger ones who kept you down Always knew you could do it We always knew you could do it Don't forget the little people Who never were around And the bigger ones who let you down Always knew you could do it We always knew you could do it We always knew you could do it You couldn't do it without us We always knew you could do it
