compassion fatigue - regional theatre song lyrics

twenty after ten
drifting off again
in the background standing on a platform saying nothing
while i shift my weight in agony
moving in your seat
propping up your feet
i can see you losing interest
you spent thirty dollars ’cause you thought you were supporting me
never earned a dime
just a waste of time
should’ve got a f+cking law degree
do a five+week play
then it’s wiped away
throw it out like a christmas tree
everybody come and look at me

when the end’s in sight
and they dim the lights
i can hear the pity in your small polite applause
and you have k!lled me with your courtesy
i help them sweep the set
smoke a cigarette
anything to keep me from that torture in the lobby
where they stand and wait to bullsh+t me
just another run
didn’t turn out fun
i’ll probably never call the people i met
nothing really changed
ended up the same
took a bow, then we struck the set
find a new audition on the internet
when i hit the skids
i can teach your kids
everything from playing zip zap zop to pointless improv
i’ll pretend to see a spark in them
i won’t tell the truth
i’ll mislead the youth
i won’t ever warn them they should walk away from this sad life
before it leaves its mark on them
you’ll never earn a dime
it’s just a waste of time
it’s self+indulgent doing figure+eights
it’s better to be bored
work for real rewards
make a family with the job you hate
k!ll that acting bug before it’s too late
