Picture on a Screen Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Picture on a Screen lyrics by Budgie

This song is about reality in television, or more accurately, the actors' lives and performances they play which mask their real selves. People in shows, movies, on the news, or in any other way are putting on a face for the screen. They aren't always that person, however, and after the camera shuts off they switch to their real face. It's all a lie, a facade of a happy or positive life.
