I didn't like this song when I first heard it, but it is one of those
that grows on you. After listening to it a few times it has now become
one of my favourites off the album, lyrically also.

(obviously using some effects pedal)
Oh mirror mirror, your'e coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think its time we should all become clean

Chorus (riff 1)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/foo_fighters/stacked_actors_tab_ver_6.html ]
Hey Hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey Hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde

God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through yeah, but what do you do
When you're just another ageing drag queen
Pre Chorus (riff 3)
Chorus 2 (riff 1)
Hey Hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey Hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors. Stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors. Stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards
And we cry when they all die blonde
