london workshop cast 2018 – the leading lady lyrics

[ayn rand]
when i was young in russia
the commies took control
they made my family suffer
in every sense they stole
all we ate was propaganda
they made us filthy poor
i wanted something grander
so i headed for the door

i came to america, land of the free
but here freedom was slowly being clipped
they needed somebody to write them a new script
and that someone was me

i’ll be the leading lady
i will take history and makе it right
i’ll be the new dirеctor
fire all the extras and win the fight

i met the founding fathers
i taught them freedom’s name
they rebelled against taxation and their liberty was claimed
but there was one who was about to ruin it all with his featherless writings

he was pushing for state power
his papers were hot air
so i trashed his reputation with a sordid love affair
he was courting disaster, i just twisted the knife
that’s when ms. maria reynolds walked into his life
the next man i did neuter thought reason was a sin
a man called martin luther who thought god would let him win
he told me “lady, i want the key to heaven
but that’s one thing i can’t buy from the pope”
so i indulged him, i helped that misanthrope
i nailed him to the door of the church
i nailed him to the door of the church 95 times

i’ll be the leading lady
i will take history and make it right
i’ll be the new director
fire all the extras and win the fight

a talented young thinker, the next man i was with
he seemed to like free markets, his name was adam smith
he was jittery and jumpy, i had to calm his nerves
so every single nation gets the wealth that it deserves
but there was one problem
he told me “selfishness is evil”
he was sure but it’s worth it because it helps the poor
but he laid the foundations for capitalism, so i told him
i’d supply whatever he’d demand
and i’d do it with my invisible hand

i’ll be the leading lady
i will take history and make it right
i’ll write this country’s future
i will renew her in a new light
[robert nozick]
you’ll be+

[rand]
ay ay ay! this is my number!
now i don’t fear competition
for it’s my mission to win us rights
i will secure survival
i’ll throw my rivals out of sight
i’ll be the leading lady
i will write history
i am right
