Act 2 Scene 8 Dewey's Bedroom - The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock, Andrew Lloyd Webber

Where did the rock go?

What is music when there’s no one to hear?

Guess it’s simply echos in the silence

Just to fade away

Woah, woah, woah woah woah woah, woah, woah, guys, guys!

What are you doing

here?

We’ve come to get you!

The bus is outside!

Ugh, guys, just forget you ever met me.

I’m a loser—

Yeah, yeah.

C’mon, the bus is outside, we have to go!

Mr. Schneebly, you can’t give up now!

Mr. Schneebly?!

I lied to you!

I used you, and worst of all, I wasted all your

time

I was lost, lost and in pain

So much hurt bottled inside

All the things I should’ve said

I just kept trying to hide

And I thought nobody could

But you, you understood

I needed to share

And only you would listen

Hoped someone would care

And only you would listen

You raised my voice up

Taught me not to fear

I’ve learned who I am because you’re here

Look around, see what you’ve done

Can’t you tell how you came through?

And now you, you need someone

So let us be there for you

Don’t you know we’ll understand

Because you’re, you’re in the band

We want you to stay

If only you would listen

We need you to play

If only you would listen

Now that we’ve found you

You can’t just disappear

School won’t be the same without you here

I needed respect

I needed a chance

And only you would listen

Only you would listen

I couldn’t connect

Just wanted one glance

And only you would listen

Only you

You gave us voices

Helped us make them clear

You gave us voices

You gave us voices

Helped us make them clear

You’ve taught us so much since you’ve been here

You’ve taught us so much since you’ve been here

I can’t

When the world has screwed you

And crushed you in its fist

What’s that?

When the way you’re treated

Has got you good and pissed

Your students

There’s been one solution

Since the world began

Don’t just sit and take it

Stick it to the man

Rant and rave

And scream and shout

Get all of your aggression out

They try to stop you

Let 'em know

Exactly where they all can go

Do everything they ever tried to ban

And tell 'em where to stick their boring plan

And do it just as loudly as you can!

Yes!

And we shall teach rock… to the world!

There’s no way you can stop

The School of Rock!
