Gotta keep my head down,
Gonna do myself proud
Gotta keep my head down
Here I go
Listen to the rules
Don’t get into the wrong crowd
D-don’t get into the wrong crowd
Mmm
GIRL
I’m praying for the weekend
48 hours away from this place
Where I can be on my own
Where I don’t have to behave
This is what it’s like for a girl like me
Every day it’s hurts more and more
This is just the start of it
the calm before the storm.
BUSKER
Stop.
Will it ever really stop?
Since it started you haven’t slept a lot
Stop putting up a fight, let the bullies win
If it doesn’t stop soon then you’ll stop coming in
You’ve been pulling out all the stops, trying to stay focussed
Trying to draw attention but the teachers never notice
It can only get better, you’ll come out on top
So you carry on with hope and you wait for it to stop
Better.
You’re not feeling any better
I bet you thought she would take it and forget
That you didn’t try and help or that you did but not enough
And now you’re feeling guilty ‘cause she’s called your bluff
She deserves better from you and from the rest
And no amount of money lifts the guilt from off your chest
You could try and talk it out if only she would let ya
Let her know that you wanna make her feel better
BOY
If I could just be someone I’m not I could change the way that people see me change the way that people treat me If I could just Step up to the bar I could somehow go the distance I could help to make a difference (Repeat)
