Hello?
I am nothing like what these fools shoot me by
I'm sorry, sir, but I do not hesitate
So I'll tell you that you won't know
Who was that?
Hello, dear, oh, who's on the phone?
It wasn't Mr. Demas
It wasn't Mr. Demas

Oh, if that's what you're thinking
It's what I was hoping
Just another cranky call from the studio
Oh, the gang's rather anxious, dear
You know the problems that they fear
Between you and the girl
Damn that director
He's destroying everything
I've never worked for
And you can be sure
I won't take it lying down this time
He's gone too far
He's crossed the fine line
Between director and dictator
A new script every night
Is out of hand
I can't stand
What they've done to me

I'm done with all my ideals
I'm torn up, grown out
I don't know why I don't show up on the set
Isn't it a natural instinct
To overthink myself?







I'm up all night, starting new lines Not getting any sleep, not a bit of sleep
They curse me because I don't show up on the set I may be losing steam but I'm not finished yet
I'm still the biggest star, a bright and shining star They won't beat me, wait and see
Some they may have to give, but it won't be me
I can last, I can survive the past I can last though the future may be vast
But I'll step outside the boundaries of time
I will last, Americans adore me I will last though they try to ruin me
But nothing takes away this stain of fame from my life
I can last, I can survive the past
I can last though the future may be vast But I'll step outside the boundaries of time
I will last, Americans adore me I will last though they try to destroy me
But nothing takes away this stain of fame from my life
I will last though they try to ruin me
But nothing takes away this stain of fame from my life
