You took great pride in painting your bad guy
Auditioned a few but you chose me
Your script told lies so I turned the dagger
Edit or cut me out of your scene
If your are iconic then I'm archetypal
If I don't pull my weight then I'll get the rifle
And if I'll be gone soon then who'll be your rival
If only your villain could be your disciple
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
Tell her a tale then tell me a story (tell me)
There once was a crook who defamed his Queen (Königin)
But I found her hair while doing your laundry
If that was a threat then that is no surprise to me
If you are iconic then I'm archetypal
If I don't pull my weight then I'll get the rifle
And if I'll be gone soon then who'll be your rival
If only your villain could be your disciple
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
If I could tell her one thing, desperately lonely is not much of a trophy
If I could tell him one thing, I would give him the same advice
But they bow, hear the applause
Outstanding performance
They love the narratives you paint
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
Don't you save face now
Appease your own ego
For you've won best in show
