The Part We Have to Play - Beau
We joined the theatre company
Before we learned to speak
And swept the stage
For a so-called wage
And seven days a week
The talented were hungry
As they struggled to improve
The talentless were quietly
Rehearsing every move
And we all knew
The part we had to play
We all knew the part we had to play
The press reported sadly
Across a tear-stained page
Their ringing lies that eulogise
The passing of the sage
And the gathering
Of the great and good
The humble and the wise
Will celebrate and seal
An actor-managers demise
And we all know the part
We have to play
We all know the part
We have to play
Beneath the wistful twilight
In the cold and swirling cloud
Where images are conjured
And with magic are endowed
The Grecians and the Avant-Gardes
So violently crossed swords
'Til one arose as principal
And Chairman of the Boards;
Then we all knew
The part we had to play
We all knew the part we had to play
And now the wind is blowing
In the tragedy of death
The cardboard castle still
Maintains the story of Macbeth
But all this plus integrity
Is swiftly broken down
When Duncan is a P T
Barnum three-ring circus clown
Who knows not the part
He has to play
Who knows not the part
He has to play
The Great Eccentric learns the lines
He knows he has to rail;
But ultimately starring
In a very different tale
He thanks you for your confidence
And for playing by the rules
You cannot understand
The funny feeling we were fools
And we all know
The part we have to play
We all know the part
We have to play
