I graduated from Northwestern two whole years ago
I was a star there, was the best one in the mainstage show
And I moved to New York with all of my rep and all of my pep in tow
And it's rude and I email dad and I lie about auditions that I never had
It would make me sad but I've recently isolated the thing that's bringing me down
I know what I need to work on to conquer this town
There's nothing like a plan, the motivation that it brings
It takes away the daily stings to know that things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
When I've got a picture that looks like me then they'll see
Things will be better with a better headshot
Yeah, yeah
Walk in a 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 up as desparate as I desparately offer to sing in legit
And I want to die and the time moves slow but at least I know
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
When I've got a picture that looks like me then they'll see
Things will 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's not broken yet
My god
Who's she?
Not me
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
Headshot
Headshot
Headshot
Headshot
When I've got a picture unmistakably me then you'll see
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
Things will be better with a better headshot
