Original Off-Broadway Cast of We Are The Tigers
Don’t Even
[KATE]
Sit back with a slouch in my spine
Quick laugh at a cliché line
Like

[RILEY]
We're gonna have a great year!

[KATE]
Cue:
I don't want to stay here

[CHESS]
Head up like you're proud to be seen
Arms crossed, no, you look too mean
Everybody's whispering
Show 'em you're not listening

[KATE, CHESS]
Don't you know they won't believe you?
They're all watching, no one sees you

But I don't even care, I don't care
Promise it, I swear, oh I swear
I'm not always trapped in my head
Playing back the wrong things that I did and said, no!
I don't even care, I don't care
I just walk on air, I don't care
I'm the girl who lets it all go
Everything you see's going perfectly
I don't even --
You don't even know

[CAIRO]
Countdown 'til someone gets hurt

[ANNLEIGH]
Oh crap, what is on my skirt?

[FARRAH]
Goddamn, I think that I'm sick

[ANNLEIGH]
Okay, do I have a TideStick?

[FARRAH, KATE]
Now is it too late to leave?

[CAIRO]
I should help

[CHESS]
Please just breathe
[CAIRO, KATE]
This night's gonna be far too long

[MATTIE, REESE]
I'm doing everything wrong

[FARRAH, KATE, CHESS, REESE]
I'll just fade 'til nobody sees me

[FARRAH, KATE, CHESS, REESE, CAIRO, MATTIE, ANNLEIGH]
Oh thank god that everything's easy!

[CAIRO, ANNLEIGH]
But I don't even care, I don't care
Done it and been there, it's all fair
No one's ever under my skin
You won't find me caught
Trying to plot how I'm gonna win

[FARRAH, KATE, CHESS, REESE, CAIRO, MATTIE, ANNLEIGH]
I don't even care, I don't care
Let 'em stop and stare, let them stare
I'm the girl who goes with the flows with it
I don't hesitate, overcomplicate
I don't even, you don't even -
Know
I don't even, you don't even know

[RILEY]
We are the soul of the school
The pride in the name
The heart and the flame
Our words are pure inspiration
Years of creation
Changing the nation
We'll give you something to hold on to
When you think your time is up
We'll give you just the song you want to
Hear when you're out of luck
