[Verse 1: Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Here are your lines, now stick to the page
Like the wise man said, "All the world's a stage"
And don't forget, you have a role to play
You can't improvise, and you can never stray
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyone knows, you can't stop the show
[Verse 2: Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
It's a treacherous business, it's hard to make a buck
If you don't like how the story ends, you may be out of luck
'Cause the writer's left the building, the script has been approved
You know who's gonna win this and who is gonna lose
[Chorus: Duncain Sheik & Holly Brook]
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyone knows, you can't stop the show
Here are your lines, now stick to the page
Like the wise man said, "All the world's a stage"
And don't forget, you have a role to play
You can't improvise, and you can never stray
[Chorus: Duncan Sheik & Holly Brook]
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyone knows, you can't stop the show

[Chorus: Duncain Sheik & Holly Brook]
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, you'll go far I can see it now
Play your part and never stray
Play your part, one of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyone knows, you can't stop the show
