Lyrics: Jeff Blim
Music: Jeff Blim
[Richie Lipschitz] I’m dead…
The blood is all but draining from my head
The nightmare started there
But now has spread
My pulse is certainly dropping
And my life is hanging on by a thread
[Ruth Fleming] I’m scared…
Someone comes for me
I'm unprepared
[Richie and Ruth] The wait has got me sweating
I can't cut through all the tension
[Ensemble] It's hell on Earth, you know
I'm tweetin' all about it
I take it blow-by-blow
But I'd never scream or shout it...
*School Bell Rings*
[Miss Mulberry] Passing period's over, find your seats!
[Ensemble] High school is killing me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
It's not cool
It's a fallacy
It's a cruel and unusual brutality
And I can survive it
For only so long
High school is killing me
I'm so f**king dead
[Miss Mulberry] Alright, class, pop quiz. I hope you've been hitting the books, Miss Lauter.
[Stephanie Lauter] Sh!t
I was up all late last night
And I couldn't f**king study
(Didn't want to anyway!)
I was deep in a twitter fight
About a problematic puppy
(Problematic pooch!)
I had heart palpitations
Trying to convert crypto to lunch money
There's nowhere to turn
[Ensemble] For the class of Twenty twenty-one!
High school is killing me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
[PJ] My melody
[Kyle Clauger] My melody!
[Ensemble] A cesspool
Faux democracy
It's one hell of a normal abnormality
*Screaming*
And I can survive it
For only so long
High school is killing me!
I'm so f**king-
[Stephanie] Hey! Hey geek!
[Peter Spankoffski] Me?
[Stephanie] Your name’s Peter, right?
[Peter] Yeah
[Stephanie] Hi, Pete, we've been in classes together for a long time, haven't we?
(I’m so f**king dead)
[Peter] Since the first grade.
[Stephanie] But I'm just realizing I've never introduced myself! I'm Stephanie.
(I’m so f**king dead)
[Peter] Lauter, the mayor's daughter. Yeah, I know.
[Stephanie] Yeah but my friends call me Steph. We're friends, aren't we, Pete?
(I’m so f**king dead)
[Peter] I don't know, are we?
[Stephanie] Well, I wouldn't advertise it to the whole school or anything, but uh...
(High School!)
[Stephanie] But there's an unspoken bond between us!
We're classmates, comrades, we're Nighthawks!
And we don't leave anyone behind！
[Peter] But I got left behind this morning, the bus driver's a f**king a**hole!
[Stephanie] We succeed together, we fail together!
I won't mince words, I'm gonna fail this test, Peter, unless you help me cheat.
[Peter] Cheat??!
[Ensemble] I'm so f**king dead
Eight o'clock bell rings
Place my head on my desk
[Stephanie] Come on! Finish your exam, pass it to me and I'll put my name on it!
[Ensemble] Twelve o'clock, Girl Scout
Can't I just get my rest?
[Stephanie] Give you mine, you can take the test all over again, doesn't that sound fun?
[Ensemble] Three o'clock countdown
Everyday lockdown
Classroom arrest
Is God the one giving the test?
[Peter] Well, yeah, but won't we get into trouble?
[Stephanie] Please, Pete, don't you wanna help me out?
[Peter] Oh, alright...
[Grace Chasity] Cheaters!
[Stephanie] Oh, God, butt out, Chastity!
[Ensemble] High school is killing me!
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
[Peter] My melody
[Stephanie] My melody
[Ensemble] It’s not cool
It's a tragedy!
I've been thrown to the wolves in the community!
*howls*
[Ensemble] And I can survive it
For only so long
And I'll still despise it
When I am gone!
High school is killing me
[Peter] Grace, just be cool
[Ensemble] F**k you! Biology
[Grace] Never!
[Ensemble] High school! Will murder me
[Grace] Miss Mulberry, they're cheating!
[Stephanie and Peter] I’m so f**king dead
[Ensemble] Yeah!
