This is not the role that I auditioned for
Please, tell me who's in charge and I'll give them what for
I don't wanna wear the wardrobe that you gave to me
And how come I don't have a line to read?
I wanna be the one that all the fans adore
Don't wanna be the one that simply holds the door
But if all I get instead's a cameo
Then I will do my best to steal the show
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Might be the only chance, I have to take a shot
And so I'll do my dance because how could I not?
I wanna stand out, not stand on the side
I wanna get in when the stars arrive
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
If I'm not the hero
If I'm not the lead
If I'm not De Niro
Then I'll be the hero of the zeroes in the camouflage
The extra doing extra in the entourage
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
