You're a Star

No matter how loud we yelled At the screen we knew she wouldn't - survive the scene And who would have guessed that her short bloody dress would get auctioned And who's that fashioning a cross In the corner while the extras - waltz to stir the slaughter Shouldn't somebody tell them that we're all just victims here, ohh yeah Ahh - the horror Ahh - the holy and the dumb You're a star now, baby Smile for everyone Under all that gold she wears She's canvass thick with makeup - the seraph of the war The violence and envy we stash behind each noble gesture And who's that man in a mask Walking slowly out of rhythm - a shrouded refugee Shouldn't somebody tell him that we're all just victims here, ohh yeah Ahh - the horror Ahh - the holy and the dumb You're a star now, baby Smile for everyone
