Everybody's Got the Right

From the Broadway revival of Assassins, by Stephen Sondhiem and John Weidman.

This was the most thrilling production I have ever seen.

I don't generally identify with the killers that populate this show, or with their credo.  But today, I'm just sleep deprived and angry enough (about jobs, and money, and dreams, and love) that I actually needed to hear this song.

Americans should know by the now the dangers of making promises we can't always keep.  Truth is, not everyone CAN be anything they want.  Sometimes you just aren't smart enough, or pretty enough, or lucky enough.  We have to learn to deal with that, if we want to be happy.

I'm still learning.
