Directors Cut

Although there are many twists and turns This play has a beginning, a middle and an end I can't possibly know how it all pans out Just when I think I've got it all figured it out Something unexpected throws me into doubt The story hasn't been written yet I pray that we are allowed to live and to regret The parts we played, the lines we read The actors we followed to the bitter end The edits left on the cutting room floor The extras that we were told to ignore I walk around, script in my hand The producers ploughed in the money, they get to choose how it all ends The plot makes no sense but we carry on I see our conclusion but not where we're from The stars of the show must think the audience is really dumb The story hasn't been written yet I pray that we are allowed to live and to regret The parts we played, the lines we read The actors we followed to the bitter end The edits left on the cutting room floor The extras that we were told to ignore
