"I Hate Being Right All the Time"

This is a character song for the musical.  It will either be sung by the aging starlet or the director (with the appropriate lyric adjustments).


Lyrics:

One thing always gets me feeling blue
When my colleagues seem to have no clue.
The thing that makes difficult to acccept
Is that everyone else so inept.

But of everything at all that I hate
Of all the things in the world I berate
One thing puts me out at the drop of a dime.
I hate being right all the time.

I hate it when someone throws me a curve
Or gets on my last nerve.
I can’t take these lackeys that get in my way,
The incompetence I deal with everyday.

There’s so much that drives me crazy, for heaven’s sake.
There’s only so much stupidity I’m able to take.
One thing ticks me off at the drop of a dime.
I hate being right all the time.

All the mistakes in the world that I see
Could all be avoided if people would listen to me.
Everyone really ought to follow my rules
Or they’ll keep wandering around like a bunch of bumbling fools.
Ignoring my advice should be a crime.
I hate being right all the time.

One huge thing that I really hate
Is letting other’s control my fate.
Having to bow to the director’s demand
Is something I can’t stand.

But of everything that I cannot bear
Of all annoying things that get stuck in my hair.
One thing hacks me off at the drop of a dime.
I hate being right all the time.
