The show must go on
verse
Why are you crying, why are you sad?
You seem to have everything.
You’re famous and rich beyond belief.
People pay just to hear you sing.
pre chorus
pick yourself up, it's time to perform.
Put on your happy face.
Dance like a marionette on stage.
each night in a new place.
chorus
The show must go on.
The show must go on.
verse
Why are you sobbing, what’s wrong with you?
you have all that money can buy.
You have beauty and admiration.
people don’t pay to see you cry.
pre chorus
Pick yourself up it’s time to perform.
Put on your happy face.
Dance like a marionette on stage.
Each night in a new place.
chorus
The show must go on.
The show must go on.
bridge
There’s no time for you to decompress.
when there’s money to be made.
So dance my little marionette.
Money has made you her slave.
tag
Bring them to tears with your sad songs.
listen to the critics rave.
