You Deserve an Oscar (quiet)

Matt Maltese

Clap your hands and catch a fly
Bite an apple, shut your eyes
Moisturize your skin is dry
Goes the ringing of the bell
Tell your friends you′re doing well
Call a doctor about your health

And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing's wrong
Every day there′s something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize

Take a supplement for sun
Try to be with everyone
No you're doing nothing wrong

Kiss a season on the mouth
Go for walks and hug a clown
All the funny ones are so down

And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing's wrong
Every day there′s something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize

Watch a war under the sheets
Get a coffee down the street
Plastic bags in harmony
Everybody′s incomplete
Who's the best at saving face
Who′s the toughest in the race
Forget the pope you have the grace
You're my nomination

You deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing′s wrong
Every day you face the scenes
But you put on your jeans
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up and slowly dying
You deserve a prize
