Carrie

(album: Riverdale: Special Episode - Carrie The Musical - 2018)

That's not my name!

Doesn't anybody ever get it right,
Carrie,
When'll they remember I am Carrie White?
Carrie,
Is it any harder so say then;
God damn total spastic, and weirdo and dumb bitch

Doesn't anybody think that I can hear?
I hear!
'Speically when I've got them screaming in my ear,
I hear!
Every day they mock me and push me around,
'Til I drop
If I had a wish, God, I wish they'd stop

Sometimes their hatred is out of control,
God how they hurt me.
Mama says suffering is good for the soul,
But they hurt me
And if I could, I'd bring them all,
Down to their knees!
I'd make them sorry forever for teasing Carrie
Carrie, Carrie!

I will not cry,
I am okay,
I try so hard to play their way.
Why do they find it so hard to say
Carrie?
Why do they always treat me so bad,
They all know my name?
It's Carrie!
I don't know why they all get so mad,
It's always the same!

What's going on deep in me,
All of these feelings suddenly?
If I am changing, will I still be;
Carrie?
Or what if I am somebody new?
Imagine, the things I might do!

I might take a chance,
I've always wondered how
Or maybe I'll dance
And try hard to laugh more than I do now.

Finally, I'd hear that word,
Sounding so sweet!
Thousands of voices forever repeating: Carrie,
Carrie, Carrie!

I am the sound of distant thunder,
That colour, that flame!
I'm Carrie!
I am a song of endless wonder,
That no one will claim.
But someday, oh my, someday!
Someone will know my name!
