Been through ten musicals They start to get blurry No point finding props 'Cause they're gone in a hurry I always keep two backups packed on stage left But it doesn’t prevent actors’ theft They don't learn the cues Don't bother with their lines All I can trust is that they will steal the wines Seems every time I'm about to despair There's a crappy prop table right there Each actor’s the same From Las Vegas to Boston A giant backstage for the props to get lost in I pray that they do not get lost Yeah, they don’t know how much those props cost *glass shatters* (instead of slushie sound) Use your brain Don’t touch that prop Or I will cause pain Happiness comes When there are no crumbs Don’t eat backstage Use your brain Use your brain Care to listen? Do the teachers know you deal with that crap? Not anymore When Howard was here We were halfway normal But now it's just me and Achter We're less formal I learned to stage manage I learned to build props Learned that I kinda suck at roll drops You're planning the cue lines, props and stage manager You'll go send some emails and pray actors answer But actors won’t listen to my threats So I'd better start building some sets Use your brain No phones allowed Or I will cause pain Shut your mouth tight And turn off shop lights Hear no noise backstage Use your brain Please be quiet No fighting backstage Remember your cue Freak, get back onstage Forget in six weeks They’ll cause another rage When the pain in my head Says I’m better off dead Don’t open a vein (if) actors use their brain Use your brain Go on and use your brain Try it
parody of the song "freeze your brain" from heathers the musical
English
The lyrics convey a mix of frustration, humor, and resilience. While the speaker expresses despair over the chaotic nature of theatrical productions, there is also an underlying sense of camaraderie and determination to make things work despite the obstacles. The emphasis on using one's brain suggests a desire for order amidst the chaos.
This song is suitable for behind-the-scenes moments in theater productions, particularly highlighting the struggles of stage management and the challenges of working with actors. It could serve as a humorous interlude in a theater documentary or be used in workshops focusing on the organization and teamwork required in stage production.
The song employs a playful and conversational tone, utilizing clever rhymes and rhythmic patterns that align with the style of musical theater parodies. It reflects the structure of a typical musical number with a strong chorus encouraging a call to action ('Use your brain'), while the verses narrate specific challenges faced by stage managers. The use of sound effects (e.g., 'glass shatters') adds comedic elements, enhancing the overall theatricality.
[Verse] The stars align in midnight skies We chase the dreams we can't deny Through peaks and valleys we will climb Our hearts in sync we pacify [Verse 2] Through fog and storm we find our way In shadows dark we won't delay Our love's a light that never fades Beyond the distance unafraid [Chorus] So take my hand we'll fly so high Above the clouds we'll touch the sky Our hearts will soar where eagles dare Beyond the distance we'll be there [Verse 3] In every breath we find the song Where we belong we've known so long The world is wide but close we stay Beyond the distance come what may [Chorus] So take my hand we'll fly so high Above the clouds we'll touch the sky Our hearts will soar where eagles dare Beyond the distance we'll be there [Bridge] The future's bright we'll take our chance In every step our spirits dance Together we are everything Beyond the distance let's begin
Verse 1 I never told you how much I cared, Took you for granted, I was unaware. You gave it all, but I didn't see, The sacrifices you made for me. You tried to make us happy, tried to heal, Told us to forget the hurt we used to feel. But now the years have passed, and all I know, I wish I never let you go. Chorus Thank you for the love you gave, For every tear, for every brave face. I didn’t say what I should have said, Now you're gone, and I’m left here instead. I miss you more than words can say, Hope you're smiling where you lay. I love you still, despite the fight, And I hope you're giving Heaven hell tonight. Verse 2 You took us far from her, from all the pain, But in the process, we lost so much again. I know you did it all for us, But still, some scars just don't adjust. And though the years were full of tears, I don't blame you, not all these years. The things we said, the things we never knew, I wish I could take them back to you. Chorus Thank you for the love you gave, For every tear, for every brave face. I didn’t say what I should have said, Now you're gone, and I’m left here instead. I miss you more than words can say, Hope you're smiling where you lay. I love you still, despite the fight, And I hope you're giving Heaven hell tonight. Bridge I never thought I’d have to say goodbye, Not like this, not with this much inside. But now you're free, I know you’re at peace, Even though our hearts still grieve. Chorus Thank you for the love you gave, For every tear, for every brave face. I didn’t say what I should have said, Now you're gone, and I’m left here instead. I miss you more than words can say, Hope you're smiling where you lay. I love you still, despite the fight, And I hope you're giving Heaven hell tonight. Outro I hope you're giving Heaven hell tonight, And I’ll carry you with me, in every fight. I’ll love you still, through the endless years, Even though you're gone, you’re always here.
[Verse] Not my problem got a world turned blind Cries echo loud from deep in my mind Souls getting hurt but no one to care Limitless cruelty man life's not fair [Verse 2] Justice lost in shadows we can't see Promises broken like waves on the sea Truth buried deep while lies dance free I turn my head but it still haunts me [Chorus] Not my problem no tears left to cry Turning my back but I still wonder why Love should have wings instead of chains that bind We close our eyes but we're losing our mind [Bridge] Pretend we’re saints with halos and wings But deep inside we know the pain it brings Reaching for light while darkness clings A twisted tale where angels don’t sing [Verse 3] Whispers of peace they fade into dust Promises shattered like a mirror's trust Holding on to dreams that fade to rust In a world so cold it's do or bust [Chorus] Not my problem no tears left to cry Turning my back but I still wonder why Love should have wings instead of chains that bind We close our eyes but we're losing our mind
We met at BURN, a cigar in your hand, I asked you ‘bout the game, you had the upper hand. "Who's playing?" I laughed, you said with a grin, "The Savannah Bananas," and that’s how it begins. You told me 'bout your life, death investigator’s past, Now you’re a private eye, but still haunted by that past. Private eyes and mysteries, secrets in disguise. I said I was a nurse, healing hearts with care, You looked at me, half-smiled, and asked, "Wanna get out of here?" Whiskey in your glass, and espresso martinis in mine, We were strangers in the night, but I swear it felt divine. We’ve been looking for each other, all our lives, we couldn’t see, But now that we're together, you're my soulmate, you and me. You couldn’t run, couldn’t hide, my heart was ready to soar. In that hotel room, you told me love was here at last. Whiskey in your glass, and espresso martinis in mine, We were strangers in the night, but I swear it felt divine. We’ve been looking for each other, all our lives, we couldn’t see, But now that we're together, you're my soulmate, you and me. You said, "I love you," and I couldn’t believe, Had to hear it once again, my heart on my sleeve. "Do you love me too?" you asked, and I said, "Of course I do," Now here we are, just me and you, with a love so true. Whiskey in your glass, and espresso martinis in mine, We were strangers in the night, but I swear it felt divine. We’ve been looking for each other, all our lives, we couldn’t see, But now that we're together, you're my soulmate, you and me. So here's to us, to love that’s grown, From a cigar lounge to a life we’ve known. Savannah Bananas, our joke forever more, With you, my love, I’ve found what I’m looking for.

[Verse] Althea's got that groove she's got that vibe When she walks into the room man the whole world comes alive She's got the rhythm in her soul can't you see Everyone wants to dance and be free [Verse 2] She moves like lightning a flash in the night Her smile's contagious everything feels right Her steps are magic like on a dream stage In a world full of chaos she sets the page [Chorus] Althea the Skibidi Queen Her dance makes you believe Life's a celebration unseen In her world of make-believe [Verse 3] She spins and twirls like a leaf in the breeze The crowd stands still time seems to freeze Her energy sparkles like stars in the sky Althea with the magic we just can’t deny [Bridge] Even shadows follow when she takes the floor Holding everyone's breath leaving them wanting more A legend in the making with every stride There's no escaping when Althea's in sight [Chorus] Althea the Skibidi Queen Her dance makes you believe Life's a celebration unseen In her world of make-believe

I'm so young and you're so old This, my darling, I've been told I don't care just what they say 'Cause forever I will pray You and I will be as free As the birds up in the trees
