Beautiful - Heathers_ The Musical _LYRICS (128K)

[00:03.73] September 1st, 1989

[00:04.87] Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person

[00:09.03] You know, I think there's good in everyone, but here we are first day of senior year

[00:15.41] I look around at these kids I've known all my life and

[00:18.09] I ask myself: What happened?

[00:19.95] (Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-Eyes! Poser! Lard Ass!)

[00:25.27] We were so tiny, happy and shiny, playing tag and getting chased

[00:30.86] (Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!)

[00:32.79] Singing and clapping

[00:34.39] Laughing and napping

[00:35.47] Baking cookies, eating paste

[00:37.93] (Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!)

[00:40.58] Then we got bigger

[00:41.94] That was the trigger

[00:43.28] Like the Huns invading Rome

[00:47.53] Sorry!

[00:48.61] Welcome to my school

[00:49.67] This ain't no high school

[00:50.73] This is the Thunderdome

[00:52.59] Hold your breath

[00:53.66] And count the days

[00:54.99] We're graduating soon

[00:56.58] (White trash!)

[00:57.67] College will be paradise

[01:00.08] If I'm not dead by June!

[01:03.80] But I know, I know, life can be beautiful

[01:08.84] I pray, I pray for a better way

[01:13.63] If we changed back then

[01:16.02] We could change again

[01:18.41] We can be beautiful

[01:22.66] Ow!

[01:23.98] Just not today

[01:25.31] Hey, are you okay?

[01:26.64] Get away, nerd

[01:29.31] (Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!)

[01:34.37] Things will get better

[01:35.44] Soon as my letter

[01:36.77] Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown

[01:39.16] Awake from this coma

[01:40.78] Take my diploma

[01:41.86] Then I can blow this town

[01:43.72] Dream of ivy-covered walls

[01:46.11] And smoky French cafes

[01:48.25] (Watch it!)

[01:49.05] Fight the urge to strike a match and send this dump ablaze!

[01:54.64] Ooops

[01:57.03] Ram Sweeney, third year as linebacker

[01:59.16] And eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick!

[02:02.61] What did you say to me skank?

[02:04.48] Aaah, nothing!

[02:06.61] But I know, I know, I know

[02:09.81] Life can be beautiful

[02:11.67] I pray, I pray

[02:14.86] For a better way

[02:16.45] We were kind before

[02:18.84] We can be kind once more

[02:21.50] We can be beautiful

[02:26.02] Ah! Hey Martha

[02:27.08] Hey

[02:28.95] Martha Dumpstock

[02:30.02] My best friend since diapers

[02:32.67] Are we on for movie night?

[02:34.28] Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail

[02:36.14] I rented The Princess Bride

[02:37.90] Hohoho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized right now?

[02:42.22] What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending

[02:45.67] Martha Dumptruck! Wide load!

[02:51.00] Kurt Kelly, quarterback, he is the smartest guy on the football team

[02:55.00] Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf

[02:59.52] Hey! Pick that up right now!

[03:01.37] I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?

[03:04.05] Yes, I am, I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend?

[03:06.97] You're a high school has-been waiting to happen, a future gas station attendant

[03:12.28] You got a zit right there

[03:17.06] Dear Diary

[03:18.66] (Why~)

[03:18.93] Why do they hate me?

[03:19.99] Why don't I fight back?

[03:21.32] Why do I act like such a creep?

[03:23.19] (Why~)

[03:23.99] Why won't he date me?

[03:25.05] Why did I hit him?

[03:26.38] Why do I cry myself to sleep?

[03:28.24] (Why~!)

[03:29.04] Students

[03:29.57] Somebody hug me!

[03:30.36] Somebody fix me!

[03:31.16] Somebody save me!

[03:32.55] Send me a sign, God!

[03:33.63] Give me some hope here!

[03:34.98] Something to live for!

[03:55.98] Ah! Heather, Heather, and Heather!

[04:02.36] And then there's the Heathers, they float above it all

[04:05.55] I love Heather, Heather, and Heather

[04:12.72] Heather McNamara, head cheerleader, her dad is loaded, he sells engagement rings

[04:19.91] I hate Heather, Heather, and Heather!

[04:20.97] Heather Duke, runs the yearbook, no discernible personality

[04:23.10] But her mom did pay for implants

[04:26.05] I want Heather, Heather, and Heather!

[04:27.65] And Heather Chandler, the almighty

[04:31.10] She is a mythic bitch

[04:35.10] They are solid Teflon

[04:36.96] Never bothered, never harassed

[04:40.68] I would give anything to be like that

[04:43.86] I'd like to be their boyfriend

[04:46.25] That would be beautiful

[04:48.38] If I sat at their table, guys would notice me

[04:50.78] So beautiful

[04:52.90] I'd like them to be nicer

[04:55.29] That would be beautiful

[04:57.68] I'd like to kidnap a Heather and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse

[05:00.91] And leave her tied up for the rats!

[05:07.05] Grow up, Heather, bulimia is so '87

[05:10.52] Maybe you should see a doctor, Heather

[05:12.12] Yeah, Heather, maybe I should

[05:14.24] Ah, Heather and Heather and Heather

[05:19.29] Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting

[05:21.94] You're late for class

[05:23.29] Heather wasn't feeling well, we're helping her

[05:25.69] Not without a hall pass you're not. Week's detention

[05:29.18] Actually, Miss Fleming, all four of us are out on a hall pass

[05:33.16] Yearbook committee

[05:35.55] I see you're all listed

[05:38.54] Hurry up and get where you're going

[05:42.57] This is an excellent forgery

[05:43.91] Who are you?

[05:46.32] Veronica Sawyer

[05:47.65] I crave a boon

[05:49.00] What boon?

[05:51.66] Hm, let me sit at your table at lunch

[05:53.29] Just once

[05:54.10] No talking necessary

[05:54.90] If people think you guys tolerate me, they'll leave me alone

[05:58.91] Before you answer, I also do report cards, permission slips and absence notes

[06:02.11] How about prescriptions?

[06:02.91] Shut up, Heather

[06:03.72] Sorry, Heather

[06:05.58] For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure

[06:09.85] And a symmetrical face

[06:11.71] If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull I'd have matching halves

[06:15.43] That's very important

[06:16.79] Of course, you could stand to lose a few pounds

[06:19.71] And you know, you know, you know?

[06:22.63] This could be beautiful

[06:24.49] Mascara, maybe some lip gloss

[06:27.43] And we're on our way

[06:28.76] Get this girl some blush

[06:30.61] And Heather, I need your brush

[06:33.02] Let's make her beautiful

[06:35.15] Let's make her beautiful

[06:36.21] Let's make her beautiful

[06:38.10] Make her beautiful

[06:41.04] Okay?

[06:41.84] Okay!

[06:44.22] Out of my way geek!

[06:45.86] I don't want trouble

[06:46.93] You're gonna die at 3PM!

[06:49.34] Don't you dare touch me! Get away, pervert!

[06:51.72] What'd I ever do to them?

[06:53.58] Who could survive this?

[06:55.18] I can't escape this!

[06:56.53] I think I'm dying!

[06:57.59] Who's that with Heather?

[07:02.36] Whoa. Heather, Heather, Heather

[07:06.90] And someone!

[07:08.76] Heather, Heather, Heather

[07:13.54] And a babe!

[07:14.87] Heather, Heather, Heather

[07:18.86] Veronica?!

[07:20.46] Veronica, Veronica, Veronica

[07:26.04] And you know

[07:27.68] You know, you know

[07:29.98] Life can be beautiful

[07:32.10] You hope, you dream, you pray

[07:35.29] And you get your way!

[07:37.28] Ask me how it feels

[07:39.66] Looking like hell on wheels

[07:42.86] My God, it's beautiful!

[07:46.32] I might be beautiful

[07:50.30] And when you're beautiful

[07:54.29] It's a beautiful frickin' day!

[07:56.41] Heather! Heather! Heather! Veronica!

[08:00.66] Heather! Heather! Heather! Veronica! Veronica! Veronica! Veronica!
