Directing movies, you wrote your own scripts   you were a boom man and a camera grip   you pioneered it, yeah you dug your own graves   and built your own crosses   out of cardboard and nails      Down to the film set   saucers, spotters and flames      All you asked for   was a little acclaim   but what they gave you   unfair kind of fame      You hired cheap actors   but they gave you their best   and you stayed proud   and you believed in yourself      Down to the film set   saucers, plotters and planes      You left nothing to chance   you learned that from playing chess
