The Sacrifice Lyrics

Seemed like an important thing to do

Entertain the audience and everyone I knew

'Til the day I became the one who was consumed

Now that I'm no longer there

You all act as if you care

Now that I've been buried

I'm somehow deified in a song

We all can sing along

And I sacrificed myself for show business

And my recompense for all I gave

Was a place among the famous, hopeless, shameless

Here inside the grave

Greedy eyes glued open in suspense

The lion and the gladiator making his defense

Let the blood flow if it will please the audience

When the hero's dead and gone

Shed a tear and then move on

It's only entertainment

I'm expendable after all, we all can hear the call

And I sacrificed myself for show business

And my recompense for all I gave

Was a place among the famous, hopeless, shameless

Here inside the grave

Now that I've nothing left to prove

Now that I've been stripped of my pride

Nothing left to save

Here inside the grave

Nothing left to hide

And I sacrificed myself for show business

And my recompense for all I gave

Was a place among the famous, hopeless, shameless

Here inside the grave

And I sacrificed myself for show business

And my recompense for all I gave

Was a place among the famous, hopeless, shameless

Here inside the grave

And I sacrificed myself for show business

And my recompense for all I gave

Was a place among the famous, hopeless, shameless

Here inside the grave
