If life was a movie
Would it be a comedy
Would you play a starring role
Would you even make the credit roll?

If life was a movie
Which of us would just be green screen
And what about those sitting in the back row
Only caring about the plot holes

If life was a movie
Would it be a tragedy?
A romantic comedy,
action, or 3D?

Would it be artsy? Would it win an oscar?
Is there a director?
Or a teenager with a projector
Controlling the images
We ask ourselves
Are we even in control
Will there be a sequel?

We all want to be a movie star
We all want to pretend we're better than we are
The truth is in terms of fame and fortune
Your better off laughing in the face of
The bad actors
The sad hecklers
The cheesy jokes
The getaway cars
The prom night kiss
The moonlit sea
The long goodbyes
The ending scenes
And do you think the $11 mattered to me?

When I get to spend good time with friends
I'll forget that the run time will end
