lyrics

I am honored to be standing here
Accepting this award
I wore the costumes
Kissed the man
And I convinced the world
Wanna thank The Academy and Jesus
And my fans whom I adore

I am the Best Supporting Actress
Or so I've been assured
I am the Best Supporting Actress
On this side of the door

I am the lover of few lines
Without her own identity
I did as I was told
They filmed and put me on a screen
They sold tickets with my shame
And they made millions off of me

I am the Best Supporting Actress
Or so they want me to believe
I am the Best Supporting Actress
On this side of the dream

You can see it in my closeups
There's a longing in my soul
Producers saw my hunger
Fed me lies and birth control
They put manufactured womanhood
Up on a pedestal

I am the Best Supporting Actress
Stuck in these hollow roles
I am the Best Supporting Actress
And I love a good scandal

Why do you people always hate me
At these red-carpet premieres
Congratulate my characters
And dare me to disappear
Well, I hate how I've been treated
And I'm ending my career

I am the Best Supporting Actress
And I'm sick of insincere
I win Best Supporting Actress
Every goddamn year

And no amount of practice
Makes it honest
And the fact is
I'm the Best Supporting Actress
The world has ever seen
I am the Best Supporting Actress
In this dirty contract scheme
I am the Best Supporting Actress
Destroying the machine
The Best Supporting Actress
Now feature's starring me
