Casting Call

All the world’s a stage

No hiding in the back 

We’ll find a part for you 

So you can play along 

We’ll start with the easy ones 

Of who you’d like to be 

Good or bad?

Well or ill?

Would you like to be a leader?

Would you like to make a change?

What will you be good at? 

What will you desire? 

Choose your privilege 

The things you’re handed 

When you’re born 

When your lines begin 

But I’m sorry to inform you

That you don’t make the roles 

We got bored- we’re sorry

We randomized a list

It’s not quite what you had planned

That’s okay?

You don’t mind?

It’s pretty close…

Well we’re sorry to inform you

You still don’t have a choice 

Our offer was good manners 

Just play along with it 

But you don’t like your role?

Sorry, call the number for complaints

Everyone wants the lead 

But we can’t all be protagonists 

I know it might be upsetting

But practice, learn your lines 

Make the best of it 

It’ll be fine you’ll see

All the world’s a stage

You have to act along 

The pieces fit together 

At least pretend like you belong
