Oh, down in these crowded bars
I've seen a lot of stars
The greatest story ever told
About to unfold
Up on the movie screens
I've seen a lot of dreams
And every actor had a name
So filled with fame
But living in reality
Who can it be?
Because no one knows their name
But someday we will write out in flames
Living in a movie
Living in a world that's black and white
Living in a movie
Where wrong is always wrong
And right is right
Who wrote this manuscript Who got these words to fit
The greatest story you can find
You cannot rewind
What is this story told?
Of heroes getting old
It is reality
They say
In its own way
So roll the camera
Upon the scenes of life
And do your own directing
Yes do your own directing
On life
Oh, living in a movie
Living in a world that's black and white
Living in a movie
Where wrong is always wrong and right is right
People in those bars, all you movie stars
I'm reality, not a fantasy
In a movie
My life is not a dream
It's my name, you're gonna write it out
In flames
In flames
