Lyric The Actress Hasn t Learned The Lines

English: Thus all fairy stories end
Only an actress would pretend
Affairs of state are her latest play
Eight shows a week 2 matinees

My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn
My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn

Eva: The chorus girl hasn t learned the lines you d like to hear
She won t go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
She won t be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
Even if you asked her to be
As you should have asked her to be

The actress hasn t learned the lines you d like to hear
She won t join your clubs she won t dance in your halls
She won t help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
She ll simply take control as you disappear

Che: Forgive my intrusion but fine as those sentiments sound
Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
I hate to sound childish ungrateful I don t like to moan
But do you now represent anyone s cause but your own

Eva: Everything done will be justified by my foundation
