Church Bell Calls

CHURCH BELL CALLS
(c) 2010 Ross Christopher

We've trained our lives
To be in the cast
To perfect the character's role
We know the lines and staging calls
For the one hour play

The church bell calls
The actors guild
The theatre fills its pews
Week after week
A casting calls
And we don't give a damn

Onto makeup and wardrobe
Our masks are sealed
The lights have all gone down
The theatre sits silent, still
'Till the lights come up
And we take our seats

The church bell calls
The actors guild
The theatre fills its pews
Week after week
A casting calls
And we don't give a damn

Stand and sit
Emotionless
Smile and nod
It's in the script
Memorize and recite
Its just what we do
It's what we've always done

The church bell calls
The actors guild
The theatre fills its pews
Week after week
A casting calls
And we don't give a damn
