lirik lagu tommy ventresca - quiet on the set

[intro]
alright people — this is your director, tommy ventresca, speaking
listen up. if you can’t behave yourselves, we’ll have security escort you out. silence, please

places
lights
camera

this is supposed to be a love story with a happy ending
you’ve got your marks, you’ve got your lines — no improv, no politics, no petty drama
let’s make this the best one yet
let’s roll it clean
quiet on the set

[verse 1]
okay, in this next scenе the follower is powerful
thе leader is humble, they’ve been kicked out of eden
and together they’re working toward building a brighter future, a better tomorrow for their children
with the hopes of someday living in the promised land — a utopia, a modern~day paradise
where there’s no grandstanding
where there’s only fellowship and service
truth. love and understanding
that’s the scene

ok. roll sound. lights. camera… and…
action
[pre~chorus]
mmm~hmm… mmm~mmm~uhhh~okay… alright… uhh~huh… yeah… that’s enough—whoaa

[chorus]
i said powerful — you’re all acting like a bunch of sheep!
i need strength, people — all you’re giving me is weak!
and i specifically said humble!
can someone tell me why the leading man is acting like he’s jesus christ?
it’s right here in black~and~white… paradise! props!
this movie set looks like a jungle!

[verse 2]
alright, we need to shoot this peace on earth scene
two soldiers with holy books in hand, both living under the same sky, both claiming the same land
both patient, kind, compassionate, a shared love for humanity and a willingness to understand
that’s the scene. let’s get this one right. let’s go people, look alive!

alright, lock the frame… cue the extras… and… action

[pre~chorus]
mmm~hmm… mmm~mmm~uhhh~okay… alright… uhh~huh… yeah… that’s enough—whoaa

[chorus]
you’re k!lling me!
you are actors, not screenwriters
this screenplay was written this way for a reason
i said no ad~libbing!
faith is a bridge, not a battlefield
they break bread under the same open sky, seeing the divine spark in each other
holy books studied for wisdom, not wielded as weapons
disagreements lead to dialogue, not destruction
no one invokes his name to justify hatred or war
you heal wounds, forgive enemies, build a future where his love is the loudest voice alive
[verse 3]
i know it’s getting late
we’re all tired and wanna go home. i wish i could run away
just wanna be left alone
so here goes:

this scene opens on a street where no doors are locked, no eyes narrowed in suspicion
every neighbor greeted by name
disputes handled with patience, never fists or weapons
children play without fear, the elderly are honored, the stranger welcomed as family
truth spoken even when hard
the choice between life and death, heaven and h~ll, is clear
the rich share freely with the poor, power protects the vulnerable
those hurt find healing in forgiveness
everybody, got it? let’s try this again

settle in, people… quiet on set… roll film… and… action

[pre~chorus]
mmm~hmm… mmm~mmm~mmm~uhhhh… uhh uhh… alright… yeah… that’s enough—whoaa

[chorus]
ah! c’mon!
your audience is meant to be moved, not manipulated
when the stage becomes a throne and the crowd turns into a mob…
you trade truth for applause, gift for greed
the art is still there, but it’s buried under your merchandise and ego
and the dangerous sway you have over the innocent that was never meant to be yours
[bridge]
cut!
is this what i paid a high price for?
is this who i gave my only begotten son for?
i created you as my finest work of art
i wrote your story with a happy ending, but you actors are making it a tragedy
who are you? stop flipping the script!
maybe free will was a mistake
i am the alpha, the omega — to h~ll with your free will, this alpha’s in control!
your god wrote this story! not you!
be real, be honest, be kind, or i will burn this set to the ground!

oh ye of little faith — why are you so fearful?
why do you hate your neighbor?
unload your rifle, lay down your burdens, pick up your bible
let go of your icon, to h~ll with your idol
everybody’s guilty, everyone is liable
the difference between life and death is truth and deception. heaven or h~ll
your crucifixion, my resurrection
i remember it well
ok people, where were we?

[outro]
i have seen the light
i got lost in the dark
i fought the good fight
i broke a few hearts
i made love
i suffered hate
i hurried up
i couldn’t wait
i’ve had enough
so today i pray
i just hope i’m not too late

is this as good as it’s gonna get?
mankind, make up your mind!
who do you wanna be?
bonnie or clyde, romeo or juliet
doctor jekyll or mister hyde?
lucifer or jesus christ?

live or die?

quiet on the set
quiet on the set
quiet on the set
quiet on the set
quiet on the set

fade out
(end)
