True Colors

Stop playing the victim babe
It don't look good on you
Then again that's all that you've ever known to do
Write a little sad song and step up to the mic
Run back home they'll let you know everything's gonna be alright

You go tell all of your friends of what a monster I've been
Paint me as dark as your little daydreams can

Thank you for showing us your true colors now
It's time, shine all the lights
That's what you wanted anyhow
Stage right. Your cue. You're on
Tear down the house
I see, they see, we see your true colors now

Settled into your role but you ain't getting no awards
But go ahead, slip on your dress, there's no way to be sure
Lights, camera, action, oh you forgot your lines
You already tore up the script when you hung me out to dry

You have blinded their eyes
You're a master of disguise
One day someone's gonna wash your makeup off

Thank you for showing us your true colors now
It's time, shine all the lights
That's what you wanted anyhow
Stage right. Your cue. You're on
Tear down the house
I see, they see, we see your true colors now

I won't lie, I bought what you sold
Now I admit your act is getting old
Find another crowd to take you in
Make them believe then wreck it all again

Thank you for showing us your true colors now
It's time, shine all the lights
That's what you wanted anyhow
Stage right. Your cue. You're on
Tear down the house
I see, they see, we see your true colors now
