Song lyrics

Show me the body
These pictures will shock you
Love is the drug
We don't need anymore.
We don't need to score.
Show me the body.
404 - gateway not found,
My wife is such a fan.
Show me the body,
Show me the body now.

We're starring in the movies of our lives.
We're starring in the movies of our lives.

[Chorus:]
And the Academy Award for good times goes to you!
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you.
There's a camera held in every hand,
The clamor of applause in every mind,
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you.

Show me the body, Hikikomori
Through liquid crystal
We look at the world
From our parents' homes.
Show me the body.
The secret of longevity
Is to stay away from men.
Show me the body,
Show me the body now.

We're starring in the movies of our lives,
Starring in the movies of our lives.

[Chorus:]
And the Academy Award for good times goes to you!
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you.
There's a camera held in every hand,
The clamor of applause in every mind,
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you.

Show me the body.
You never realise
How much 8 pints are
Till you see them on the ground,
They cover so much ground.
Locked up predator,
Hunter, gatherer...
Once rare commodity
Now easily found
Salt, sugar and fat,
There's heavy traffic.
Show me the body now.

We're starring in the movies of our lives,
Starring in the movies of our lives.

[Chorus:]
And the Academy Award for good times goes to you!
Yeah, the Academy Award for good times goes to you.
There's a camera held in every hand,
The clamor of applause in every mind,
But the Academy Award for good times goes to you, you...
