Act Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is my eye
My eye is not my enemy
This is my eye
This is my desire
My desire is not my enemy
This is my desire
This is my dick
My dick is not my enemy
This is my dick
This is my memory
Is my memory my enemy?
My memory is not my enemy

[Pre-Chorus]
A system going down is a system moving forward
A system going down is a system moving forward
A system going down...

[Chorus]
Act up
Baby
Act up

[Verse 2]
This is my burning liquid loving devotion to art
My art is not my enemy
This is my A.R.T
This is my mama, Dr. Freud
My mom is not my enemy
This is my mama
Ceci est la langue dans laquelle je pense, donc je suis
Mon esprit est-il mon ennemi ?
This is my magical lyrical mystical imagination
My imagination is not my enemy
These are my fears
Are my fears my enemies?
Yeah, my fears are my enemies, and so is my unconsciousness
[Pre-Chorus]
A system going down is a system moving forward
A system going down is a system moving forward
A system going down...

[Chorus]
Act up, baby
Look what you've done to me, act up
Act up, baby
Look what you've done to me, act up

[Bridge]
Won't you see?
Enemies?
Good God

[Bridge]
In Bill we trust yo
In Bill we trust
In Bill we trust yo
In Bill we trust
In Bill we trust yo
In Bill we trust
In Bill we trust yo
In Bill we trust
In Bill we trust yo
[Verse 3]
Alors on recommence
Au monoprix
Les biftecks sont pourris
Et les garçons aussi
C'est naturel
Que les filles soient plus belles
Et les garçons plus cons
Hélicoptère
Les filles savent conduire
Et les garçons vomir
C'est naturel
Que les filles soient plus belles
Et les garçons plus cons

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
