The way you read the crowd, the way you make them pay
You stepped in mid-scene a whole new way
No, I won't resist you now and even if I could

It's in the cars and the wires

Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)
Barnaby, action, do it again
(Yeah, gonna make you strong)
Camera on, action, do it again
(Ooh, you know I gotta do it)

Who'll never be the same
You get in immoral game
