Jethro Tull - Audition Lyrics
The actors milling helplessly--The script is blowing out to sea.But what the hell, we didnt even pass an audition.The lines youll have to improvise.The words are written in the eyesOf politicians who despise their fathers.And so the play necessitatesThat all you boys participateIn 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 undertakeTo make you wise for gods own sake, and none other.While ladies get their bedding doneTo win themselves a bouncing son--But bad girls do it for the fun of just being.And me, Im here to sing along,And Im not concerned with righting wrongs,Just asking questions that belong without an answer.But God is laughing up his sleeveAs he pours himself another cup of tea,And he waves good-bye to you and me, at least for now
