Sure go ahead and dream Girlie
But don't forget from wence you came
You're just trying to blow off steam Girlie
Not that I blame you every night's the same
You finish the show you rinse out your tights
You dive into a dive and raise a toast to better nights
You get a little drunk and maybe start a few fights
But you grin and bare it
You run for the train the one you just missed
You're out of cigarettes you've got a headache
And you're pissed
You lie awake countin all the bald heads you kissed
But you grin and bare it
Wake up Quick smell the coffee it's a brand new day
If you wake up lonely that's the price you pay anyway
You run from the train it's a quarter to two
You slap a pound of war paint on and barely make your cue
You hit the stage and smile 'cause shit
What else can you do or say
You grin and bare it four shows a day
Oh wake up Quick change your costume second act is on
Life ain't just a rat-race it's a marathon and then you're gone
So pity yourself but know in your gut
That no one ever died because their life was in a rutt
And learn a little lesson from a gal who says
What the hey
Grin and bare it grin and bare it grin and bare it
Grin and bare it four shows a day
