	They said all the world’s a stage and that I shouldn't be afraid But I cut the ropes and the curtains came crashing down You said “break a leg!” and I fell right off the stage Through all these rough drafts into development hell Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into Bury me in a grave with all the reviews critics gave Like a direct to dvd sequel i've been shelved With the trembles and the shakes Yeah, they cancelled the parade I’m moving to Kansas City where I can’t be found Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into hell Yeah, straight into… Waking up lonely and deserted with the taste of blood in my mouth Stings like what the fanboys posted waiting for the Snyder Cut to come out Will anyone care if I leave this town Or does it really matter if you never been around I guess they could post another casting call For a drunken best friend, shooting starts this fall So I’ll see you in hell So I’ll see you in hell So I’ll see you in hell and I’m moving to Kansas City where I know I can’t be found Yeah, see you in hell!
