Carrie

You know what Norma calls her? Scary White!

Do you love it?

Scary White!

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 than

God damn toad, spastic, and weirdo and dumb bitch?

Doesn’t anybody think that I can hear?

I hear!

Specially when I’ve got them screaming in my ear!

I hear!

Every day they mock me and push me around

‘Till I drop

If I had a wish, God, I wish they’d stop!

When will they?

I wish they’d!

When will they, when will they, when will they?

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

And the world will open its eyes

And for once the whole world will recognize Carrie!

Then all those people who scream night and day

Poor praying Carrie!

They’d see the new me

And they might even say

Look! It’s Carrie!

And finally, I’d hear that word

Sounding so sweet!

Thousands of voices forever repeating: Carrie

Carrie, Carrie!

I am the sound of distant thunder

A colour, a 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!
