Scene 4: "Boredom Sweat"

from How to Hire by Satomage

lyrics

EUGENE
How do we get good men to work for our firm? First of all here are a few ways we don't get successful men.

APPLICANT ONE
I want to put on my best suit and my mask that doesn't care pull my shoulders and my hair back so I don't stand out anywhere.

EUGENE
I like this man personally as a human being and I like my company and I want these two to get better acquainted.

APPLICANT ONE
I've got a pocket full of potential and my reflection in my shoes and all I need now is someone willing to lose. I've stopped trying to be social can't even gather the steam. I've got no time to waste too busy livin' the dream.

EUGENE
Pretend to be somebody pretending to be you can better understand your company and what you're willing to do to accommodate an acquisition effectively.

APPLICANT TWO
Do you want what I want? Cause I want me.

APPLICANT ONE
The angels take their share even when we fail. The angels take their share from every bit of burden. But the load never lightens. We carry more every day.

EUGENE
We don't tell people what to do anymore we sell them on what to do.

APPLICANT TWO
I want to sell you a cage but only show the space between the bars. See that freedom fleeting faster; I'll keep you grasping but not too far. I'll pretend to be that ambient abuser the one that turns heads. I can just walk in to a room and make all hope go dead. If you try and match my misery you'll just reflect what it may seem everybody's just my mirror to remind me that I'm living the dream.

APPLICANT ONE
Do you want what I want? Cause I want me. The angels take their share even when we fail. The angels take their share from every bit of burden. But the load never lightens. We carry more every day.

APPLICANT TWO
Look in a mirror close the door. Smile at what you've become. Please don't laugh at the face that you see it'll be worth it when you're done.

APPLICANT ONE
I buy my tickets in bulk; I'm selling cattle for fun. I'm surrounded by the useless; it makes my stocks worth the run.

APPLICANT TWO
Some days I worry I'm too fragile but my weakness I've got to hide it stuff my conscience down inside of me where they never will find it. I've got to keep confident but I only want to scream!

APPLICANT ONE
Everyone does what they want when we're all livin’ the dream.

APPLICANT TWO
I'm so sick of being tired I must be livin’ the dream.
