The Academy Award - Franz Ferdinand

Show me the body, these pictures will shock you

Love is the drag we don’t need anymore

We don’t need to score, show me the body

404 — gateway not found

My wife is such a fan, show me the body

Show me the body now

We’re starring in the movies of our lives

We’re starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

There’s a camera held in every hand

The clamour of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

Show me the body, Hikikomori

Through liquid crystal we look at the world

From our parents' homes, show me the body

The secret of longevity

Is to stay away from men, show me the body

Show me the body now

We’re starring in the movies of our lives

We’re starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

There’s a camera held in every hand

The clamour of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

Show me the body, you never realise

How much eight pints are 'til you see them on the ground

They cover so much ground, laptop predator

Hunter-gatherer, once-rare commodity

Now easily found, salt, sugar and fat

There’s heavy traffic, show me the body now

We’re starring in the movies of our lives

Starring in the movies of our lives

And the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

Yeah, the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you

There’s a camera held in every hand

The clamour of applause in every mind

But the Academy Award for Good Times goes to you, you
