The Actress Hasnt Learned (the Lines Youd Like To Hear) Lyrics

ARISTOCRACY

Thus all fairy stories end

Only an actress would
pretend

Affairs of state are her latest play

Eight shows a week two
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
