                  D#    G#
I'll make another movie
                    D#         G#
The same one as the year before
             D#   G#
Take a tired idea
              D#             D#7
Put it in the hands of Hollywood
                   G#
I need to talk to someone
                         D#
I've been living someone else's life
                        A#              G#
I don't get no mail at my house anymore
                 D#
My manager's my bride

I'm leaving on a jet plane
I'll see my baby soon enough
I won't take her to the movie
I'm worried that the lines become all blurred
I couldn't help but feeling something
When the boss told us to act that way
I'm ashamed of my profession
I would do the same again

I'll make another movie
Same one as the year before
I'm looking for a story
Something ludicrous to rise up from the street
I won't play another heavy weight
I won't play another big John Shaft
Put me in a frock and leave me to recite
Maybe my career will die
