Liars Get Hired

People would like you if you were less sad

Just keep it to yourself if it’s something bad. 

Trust me, they’d love it if you were less real 

Adjust what you say, suppress the unideal. 

Don’t discuss depression. Success is at stake.

People won’t like you if you make that mistake.

People would like you if you weren’t so loud

You think it’s brave but you shouldn’t be proud 

You need to behave and to lower your voice 

What you display in public is a careful choice

Instead of hiding you show your every flaw 

Without a shred of pride left in a career in law

People like a professional who can take charge 

Not a total mess with emotional issues at large 

The same people who tell you to be yourself 

Judge you if it’s too much for everyone else.

People would like you if you weren’t so true

People would like you if you weren’t so… you.
