People Lyrics by Capital Theatre

A Hero’s Journey

2021

[Verse 1]
The curtain draws back, I stand alone
I'm ready to say my piece, but my entire memory's gone
Someone tell me my lines, I have a life to live
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women have to act out on it
[Chorus]
Give me a curtsy and I'll take a bow
For the appalling crowd
Clapping you on as you bare it all
Up in the balconies, they're looking down
I see the bourgeoisie in the box seats
And the scavengers in the stalls
We have it all
Yes, we have it all
[Verse 2]
My voice travels on, I stay behind
The words move too fast for me to catch this time
I said the wrong line and now I've paid the price
All the world's a rage, and I've been busy picking up the pieces lately
[Chorus]
We're making money in the moonlight now
But it's a sordid crowd
Pushing too hard and I lose it all
We gotta get away somehow
'Cause I see misery after midnight
Disaster by the break of dawn
We had it all
Yes, we had it all
[Bridge]
The addiction to the fiction makes the truth so hard to find
The characters we play are changing all the time
And like grand designs (Like grand designs)
That never see the light (Never see the light)
Well, the addiction to the fiction leaves us all so far behind
[Chorus]
And at the curtain call, we take a bow
To an adoring crowd
Clapping us on 'cause we gave it all
Up in the balconies, they're looking down
And as they shower us in roses
A tear begins to fall
We did it all
Yes, we did it all
[Outro]
People watching people
People watching people
Yes, we did it all
People watching people
Yes, we did it all
People watching people watching people
