At the Movies Lyrics by Bad Brains

Banned in DC: Bad Brains Greatest Riffs

1983

[Verse 1]
Here's to the maker
The film double taker
The illusion type faker
Guaranteed shaker
Paravision viewer
Or it just may seem
Lost the real scope of life
The hope of life
To cope with life
And found it on the screen
And how many times have we heard that line do you think
I'm blind to trade my mind for what you call fine
Never in my time I'm not in your movie
[Chorus]
Hey, what can it be on the big white screen
Hey, how can you see you're living in 3D
[Breakdown]
Mm, I guess you think you're at the movies somewhere
I guess you think you're at the movies somewhere
Mm, I guess you think you're at the movies somewhere
I guess you think you're at the movies somewhere
Stale popcorn, don't you stand in your chair
Stale popcorn, don't you stand in your chair
Stale popcorn, don't you stand in your chair
Stale popcorn, don't you stand in your chair
[Verse 2]
A child is influenced by the make believe
To take advantage of this truth is cold hearted sin
So I say to youth right now
Don't sway to the unjust
No matter what they say
Never give in, never give in
[Chorus]
Hey, what can it be on the big white screen
Hey, how can you see you're living in the movies
