《The Actor’s Opprobrium》歌词

[00:02:36] I guess I should have known to stay away

[00:02:36] From a snuff film by Jean Genet

[00:02:36] But the cash was good and the director gave me the biggest scene

[00:02:36] What does it mean when Pentecostal born again virgins appear picketing in angry

[00:02:36] protest?

[00:02:36] Oh those sloppy tarts have sulfurized hearts

[00:02:36]

[00:02:36] Sure a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue in a coffin after being hung

[00:02:36] Does make strange erotic cinema but that was the great master’s vision

[00:02:36] And the actors agree to portray the fiend is best in a death fantasy

[00:02:36] ’cause when one is licking the knife, ah well that is truly the life

[00:02:36]

[00:02:36] oh what does it mean when the stagehand approaches wheeling in a guillotine

[00:02:36] let’s play nice

[00:02:36] yes I want to be a star but that’s going too far

[00:02:36]

[00:02:36] yes I’m still smarting from the bite of coital sessions in gelatol light

[00:02:36] I’m questioning my chosen career

[00:02:36] don’t think I’ll be attending the premier

[00:02:36]

[00:02:36] I don’t imagine Jean Genet ever wrote the screenplay for a snuff film but I think he

[00:02:36] would have done good work in the genre given the chance. This is the story of a

[00:02:36] fledgling actor desperate to get some roles. He auditions for the lead in a snuff film not

[00:02:36] knowing what would be expected of him. He manages to escape death but is

[00:02:36] completely traumatized by the experience.
