Lyrics
The Movie
Verse 1:
Julie, has a serious notion, she thinks she's alone
Drifting out on the ocean of life, searching for love
Stealing dreams, from a fantasy romance
Addicted she yearns for more
And it seems, when she finds what's she's after
Another walks through the door
Chorus:
Watching the movie, the one where the hero gets the girl
Discovered the movie, is not like the world, it's not like the world
Verse 2:
Steve has a serious problem, he thinks he's a star
Earrings and a funky cool hairdo, he drives a super slick car
Being cool, with a Hollywood notion
Making a rep for good times
Missing school, high on a potion
Trapped inside his own mind
Chorus:
Watching the movie, the one where the hero gets the girl
Discovered the movie, is not like the world, it's not like the world
Bridge:
What you watch, sinks into your life
Truth is plain, cuts deep like a knife
Scripted murder, and erotic thrills, and religions that kill.
Chorus II:
Watching the movie, the one where the hero gets the girl
Discovered the movie, is not like the world, is changing your world
Is changing our world.
