Academy Award

The Dismemberment Plan

Playing to the bleachers now

Letting them beat you and showing them how

Dangling yourself from the cross

All out of nails, but here's your hammer, boss



And the Academy Award for ridiculous over-acting goes to you

So get on up there and give us a speech



Taking all the attention away

After your performance, there's no one left to nominate

Dangling yourself from the cross

All out of nails, but, uh, here's your hammer, boss



And the Academy Award for embarrassing melodrama goes to you

So get on up there and give us a speech



Don't forget the little people

Who never were around

And the bigger ones who kept you down



Always knew you could do it…

We always knew you could do it



Don't forget the little people

Who never were around

And the bigger ones who let you down



Always knew you could do it.

We always knew you could do it.

We always knew you could do it.

You couldn't do it without us…

We always knew you could do it.
