The Actors Opprobrium

• D

        D               G      D      G
I guess I should have known to stay away
A                       D      G
From a snuff film by Jean Genet
D       G      D              G 
But the cash was good and the 
A                               C
Director gave me the biggest scene
                Em              A              E
What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins
        A       A#             A
Appear picketing in angry protest?
        D       A
Oh, those sloppy tarts 
        D       A
Have sulphurized hearts


D G D G
Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue 
A   D G
In a coffin after being hung
D G D G
Does make strange erotic cinema 
C                       G      A# 
But that was the great master’s vision
A                       G
And the actors agree to portray 
                Dm              A
The fiend is best in a death fantasy
Because when one is licking the knife
A                       A7
Ah, well, that is truly the life

C                       Em
Oh, what does it mean 
A E    A# A
When the stagehand approaches 
Wheeling in a guillotine?
Let’s play nice
D    A
Yes, I want to be a star 
D       A
But that’s going too far


Yes, I’m still smarting from the bite 
Of coital sessions in gelatinal light
I’m questioning my chosen career 
A  A# A D
Don’t think I’ll be attending the premier
