[Verse 1]
I sent my résumé to God
In MLA and 12 point font
My awards are all in order and my references are pretty strong
My bullet points concise and now my grammar's fixed and typos found
I'm hopin' if she sees it I have made my English teacher proud

And I've done my share of charity
But left out the profanities
I know he's a busy guy and probably won't remember these

The omnipotent editor knows all the tricks by now I'm sure
But first impressions stick, so I am leading with my best foot first

So now I wait for the response
A call from my potential boss
Did I apply 'cause I am lost?
Is it too late to call it off?

[Chorus]
I didn't know I had an answer for this question 'till I asked
But now that I am set in motion all I want's a second chance
Take it back

[Verse 2]
And I'm flinching as I check the mail
And flip through bills and grocery sales
I throw out all the clutter, understand that it can't help me now
