Let the show begin
waking each morning
going through the motions
paste on the smile
record and repeat the laugh

Let the show begin
memorize the routine
do the robot through the work
rev like a car to go home
act the part of the happy daughter

Let the show begin
wind up like a doll to do the homework
be a shining star around the family
finally collapse like a block building
the show is over
and let it begin again
