Audition Lyrics

The actors milling helplessly The script is blowing out to sea But what the hell We didn't even pass an audition
The lines you'll have to improvise The words are written in the eyes Of politicians who despise their fathers
And so the play necessitates That all you boys participate In fierce competition To eliminate each other
And groupies on their way to war Get to write the next film score But the rock and roll star knows His glory is really nothing
Men of religion on the make Pledge an oath they undertake To make you wise For God's own sake and none other
While ladies get their bedding done To win themselves a bouncing son But bad girls do it for the fun of just being
And me, I'm here to sing along And I'm not concerned with righting wrongs Just asking questions that Belong without an answer
But God is laughing up His sleeve As He pours Himself another cup of tea And He waves goodbye To you and me, at least for now
