Everybody's making money, everybody's flying high Who among my brethren is more beautiful than I? Who puts out on the carpet? Who knows ahead of time Which camera he should turn to when it's time to say his line?
I'm watching movies, heart pounding like a drum Call out in the dark for somebody to come Do you see what I see? There's no way all that's fake Only so much a good man can take But you can't fight evil all alone "Please, James, get the director on the phone"
I will rise to this occasion I will rise to this occasion I will rise, rise to this occasion I will rise to this occasion
I lead the agents back to the screening room And in the dark, we watch the blood flowers bloom And then the credits seem to roll on forever I know people who can find out who put this thing together
After a while, one of them said "Listen, Charlie, you're from Hollywood And the moving pictures aren't what they used to be, it's true But I'm not sure what you think the bureau can do" Gentlemen, the camera doesn't lie How many more innocent women must die?
I will rise to this occasion I will rise to this occasion I will rise, rise to this occasion I will rise, rise, rise, rise, rise to this occasion
