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
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
Because the girl in that picture is scared
Because the girl in that picture is blonde
Because the girl in that picture's not broken yet
So I save enough, I buy a dress, go to a studio
I'm brave, I′m tough, I'm not a mess
And the woman who's taking the picture′s an out of work actress
And I know it′s rude but, hey
Whatever, I'm just not in the mood today
I′ll reschedule, it's all okay
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
