Carrie: The Musical Ensemble
In
[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
Stop
Go
Move—ha!
Come on, come in
Father, Mother, Preacher, Teacher
Failure!
Am I? Am I? Am I? Ami?
No!
Am I stupid?
Am I hopeless?

Violence! Silence!
Broken, used, black, bruised
What about me?
What about me?
I dream!
I drown!
I wait!

[KIDS]
Every day
I just pray
Every move I make is right

[TOMMY & SUE]
Where I go
[SUE & CHRIS]
Who I know

[SUE, TOMMY, CHRIS, BILLY & KIDS]
Will I be alone on Saturday night?

[NORMA, HELEN, FREDDY & STOKES]
And I worry

[FRIEDA, HELEN, GEORGE & FREDDY]
What if I stand out one bit?

[CHRIS, FRIEDA, BILLY & TOMMY]
I worry

[SUE, TOMMY, CHRIS, BILLY & KIDS]
What can I possibly do to fit
In?

[HELEN, CHRIS, GEORGE, STOKES & BILLY, SUE, NORMA, FRIEDA, FREDDY & TOMMY]
Perfect clothes Am I? Am I? Am I?
Nose Am I? Am I? Am I?
The perfect... Am I? Am I? Am I? Am I?

[SUE, TOMMY, CHRIS, BILLY & KIDS]
...skin
Face
All ace
[NORMA, SUE, BILLY, HELEN, GEORGE & FREDDY]
Both my folks

[ALL]
Total jokes

[CHRIS & BILLY]
All they do is chew my ass

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
Blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

[HELEN, FREDDY & STOKES]
They should just be glad I make it to class

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
I don't worry

[CHRIS & BILLY]
If I blow my SATs

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
I worry
What can I possibly do to squeeze
In?
Pow!
Why not now?
When will I belong?

Look where I am—
Damn!
My whole life feels wrong

What if I do
Snap?
Holy crap!
I'd crawl out of my skin

And so would you
'Cuz
Life just doesn't begin
Until you're
In!

[MISS GARDNER, spoken]
Don't you all have somewhere to be?

[BILLY, spoken]
There's somewhere I'd like to be Miss G

[MISS GARDNER, spoken]
What are you, Mr. Nolan—twelve?
Tommy Ross—watch those hands—and definitely no tongue!

[TOMMY, spoken]
Yes, ma'am

[CHRIS, spoken]
Hey, you two—get a room!

[MISS GARDNER, spoken]
And you, Chris Hargensen, lose the gum before class

[CHRIS, spoken]
Where should I put it, Miss Gardner?

[MISS GARDNER, spoken]
Anywhere you like. Just get it out of your mouth
Carrie White, get a move on! Gym class in two minutes!

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS, sung]
Ha ah ah ah
Ha ah ah ah

[BOYS]
God, it's rough
Stayin' tough
Wond'rin' what the world will say

"Make a plan!"
"Be a man!"
All this fricking bullshit gets in the way

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
I go crazy
Nobody cares what it does to me
It's crazy
I would go out of my mind to be

[SUE, CHRIS, GARDENER & GIRLS, TOMMY, BILLY & BOYS]
In Am I?
Shit! Am I? Am I?
In is it! Am I? Am I?
What comes close to that?

Until you've been

[CHRIS, SUE, NORMA, GEORGE, HELEN, GARDENER, BILLY & STOKES, FRIEDA, TOMMY & KIDS]
In Am I? Am I?
You ain't where it's at Am I? Am I? Am I? At—

Cuz when you're out— Am I? Am I?
Well! Am I? Am I?
Life is hell Am I? Am I?
You can never win
There's no doubt Am I? Am I?
That Am I? Am I?
Life just doesn't begin Doesn't begin
Until you're—

[ALL, spoken]
Awww

[NORMA, spoken]
Way to go Carrie!

[FREIDA, spoken]
Yeah, way to blow it!

[CHRIS, spoken]
Loser!

[MISS GARDNER, spoken]
Hit the showers, girls! Go change up!

[CARRIE, spoken]
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen

[SUE, CHRIS & GIRLS, sung]
And someday
If I don't stand out one bit

[SUE, CHRIS, TOMMY, BILLY & KIDS]
Oh someday
I may be normal enough to fit

In!
Jeez!
Shoot me, please!
Put me out of my pain
Am I a mess?
Yes!
Totally insane

If I am not
Missed
I don't exist
That's the greatest sin

I'd rather be shot
'Cuz
Life just doesn't begin
Doesn't begin—
Doesn't begin—
Doesn't begin—
Doesn't begin—
Until you're
In!
