lyrics

Quiet on the set!

Take one of the revolution
The scene is set, script is read, blocking is down
But you’re staring out into the lens
Stuck, stiff, emotionless, and tongue-tied

Can I get some motivation here?
Where’s all your passion?
Where’s your conviction?
It takes a little more than reciting lines to play a part

Cut!

Take two of the revolution
Lights, camera, more inaction
We’re callin’ in the make-up crew
To force your face to feign interest

Can I get a stunt heart in here?
This bag of bones can’t be bothered to breathe or beat
Isn’t there an actor here who can act alive?

I’ve got an open mind for comments and rewrites
But without a rising action there’s no dénouement

You want revolution without leaving your chair
But you’re broke if you bargain with what isn’t there
I’m tired of appealing to your better angels
We can’t wrap production unless you act

I saw the best minds of my generation lost to lethargy

We’re losing light and our budget’s tight
And your best work so far is on the cutting room floor

Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai

What can I expect from you when your demo reel’s a still frame?
No one can direct you but yourself
But yourself
I can’t expect much from you when your method is rigor mortis
No one can incite you but yourself
But yourself

Take three of the revolution
Green screens and 3-D motion-capture
The camera’s shooting emptiness
A void we’ll fill in post-production

Animate a human right here
Perfect his speech and program some feeling in
The revolution will not be live, but CGI

You talk evolution but I’ve seen this before
You passed your audition on anger alone
But your crippled complacence makes your trailer a hearse
You’re much less Guevara than Hearst

You want revolution without leaving your chair
But you’re broke if you bargain with what isn’t there
So sick of appealing to your better angels
We’re wrapping production until you act

(Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai
Mamihlapinatapai)

Quiet on the set!
