Headshot - Krysta Rodriguez

I graduated from Northwestern two whole years ago

I was the star there

Was the best one in the main state show

Then I moved to New York

With all of my rep and all of my pep in tow

And it’s really mad and I email dad

And I lie about auditions that I haven’t had

It would make me sad

But recently I isolated the thing that is bringing me down

I know what I need to work on in order to conquer this town

There’s nothing like a plan

The motivation that it brings takes away the daily stings to know

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

When I got a picture that looks like me then they’ll see

That things’ll be better with a better headshot

Yeah, yeah

Walk in the room and no one notices I’ve entered it

I clear my throat, I make a scene, I do a double split

And I try not to come off as desperate as I desperately offer to sing elegy

And I wanna die, and the time moves slow but at least I know

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

When I got a picture that looks like me then they’ll see

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Yeah, yeah

Because the girl in that picture is scared, not me

Because the girl in that picture is blonde, not me

Because the girl in that picture ain’t broken yet

By god, who’s she?

not me

And not me

So I save enough

I buy a dress

Go to a studio

I’m brave, I’m tough, I’m not a mess

A breath I walk in slow

And the woman who’s taking the picture’s

An out of work actress

So I up and go

And I know it’s rude, but hey

Whatever, I’m just not in the mood today

I’ll reschedule, it’s all okay

Things will be okay

Things will be okay

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

Things’ll be better with a better headshot

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
