Good Kid Lyrics (From The Lightning Thief Musical) ((Plus Ramble))

Okay, so you probably have listened to the song 'Good Kid' from The Lightning Thief Musical which will begin on March 23 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, because if you haven't then you better go watch it here, folks.

I really like the lyrics, since it's simple but seriously, seriously, sERIOUSLY. Touching. I literally cried when I first hear it, because hOW CAN YOU NOT. Although there are a few parts that struck me as not quite right...

But anyway, if you're not native to English like me, and you're hoping to find the lyrics, I got your back, fam. I wrote down the words as well as I could, but if you think there're some errors, just let me know!



Six schools in six years
Been kicked out of every place
Everything I ever do is wrong
Never find where I belong
Everybody on my case

The same old story
The same old song
Don’t act up, don’t act out
Be strong

I keep my head down
I keep my chin up
But it ends up all the same
With pack your bags, Percy
You’re always to blame

I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid,
A good kid, a good son

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take a fault
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid,
Yes, I’m good for nothing at all

Gabe, was a world class jerk
Dad, was never there
The only family that really mattered
Well she vanished into the air
And now I finally find a heaven
Someplace safe where I can stay
‘till it’s, pack your bags, Percy
Now go, go away

I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid,
Yeah Percy, that’s a good one

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take a fault
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid,
Yes, I’m good for nothing at all

The schools in six years
Every battle everyday
No one ever tells me that they’re proud
No one asks me,
Percy how’d you like to come around and stay

Oh, you get a bad grade,
And a bum rap,
And a bad rep,
And a good smack
And no friends,
And no hope,
And no mom,

She’s taken away

I swear I never stole anything
I never meant to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid,
A good kid,
Just had a bad run

And all I need is one last chance
To prove I’m good enough for someone
Good enough for someone
(Six schools in six years)
I’m good enough for someone
(Six schools in six years)
I’m good enough for someone
(Six schools in six years)

There are parts that I'm not sure, but... I did what I could.

This song was performed by Chris McCarrell and I have no claim whatsoever of the song. I just wrote down the words. Cheers.

Siapa Bilang 'Grepe -Grepe' Itu Nggak Baik?

Oke, jadi ini adalah posting selingan, cerita sehari hari penulis yang salah seorang temannya request untuk dituliskan. Karakter karakter dalam cerita ini sepenuhnya nyata. Jika ada kesamaan nama/tokoh/lokasi maupun yang lainnya... then it's all hitsuzen! Because universe is rarely so lazy.  ~~*~~ Malam hari sekitar sepekan yang lalu, aku, ibuku, dan dua adikku (Nurul & Ihsan), berkelana ke sebuah toko stationery  langganan kami di Perumnas III, relatif dekat dari rumahku di Cerewed. Kami mengendarai 2 motor. Di satu motor ada aku dan Nurul, sedang di motor lainnya ibuku dan Ihsan. Aku dan Nurul berangkat belakangan, karena ibuku dan Ihsan isi bensin lebih dulu. Singkat cerita, saat aku dan Nurul tiba di toko, sepasang anggota keluarga kami itu belum tiba. Alhasil, kami berdua keliling keliling sambil melihat lihat berbagai jualan toko tersebut lebih dahulu. Tak berapa lama, ibu datang menghampiri kami dengan senyum yang, kalau dipikir pikir sekarang, sedikit kaku. Di

The Lost Chapter of The Lightning Thief

Some of you may have read it, some of you may not. So I’m just going to post this. This is a scene that supposed to be a part of Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief but he said that it would be better if this scene was deleted and I can't understand why.  Personally I do think this scene is very interesting. Really, I don’t know why he’d deleted it. But enough for the talk. Enjoy! When everybody had returned to their seats and finished eating their meals, Chiron pounded his hoof again for our attention. Mr. D got up with a huge sigh. "Yes, I suppose I'd better say hello to all you brats. Well, hello. Our activities director Chiron says the next capture-the-flag is Friday. Cabin Five presently holds the laurels." A bunch of ugly cheering rose from the Ares table. "Personally," Mr. D continued, "I could care less, but congratulations. Also, I should tell you that we have a new camper today. Peter Johnson." Chiron murmured somet

Rick Riordan's The Kane Chronicles

Well, this post is about another masterpiece of Rick Riordan: The Kane Chronicles. I like the idea of Egyptian gods and goddesses. And the main characters are also really interesting (But no one can beat the swag of Percy Jackson, I assure you).  Two siblings, the Kanes. Sadie and Carter. I love both of them. Sadie, with her annoying acts is so real. Rick Riordan surely really understand what’s on us girls’ minds. And Carter… he has his own charms. Unfortunately, he already has Zia Rashid as his primary crush. Here are the official illustrations of the two siblings. Oh, and Zia too. CARTER KANE SADIE KANE ZIA RASHID The series has 3 books. The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and the newest (published on May 1 st ) is The Serpent’s Shadow. I read in a website, it was Rick Riordan’s website if I’m not mistaken ( www.rickriordan.com ) that he will continue the sequel of the serial. Just like Percy Jackson and The Olympians with The Heroes of Olympus.
