Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Places for scene two, people
Remember, once Puck gives you the pansy serum
You have to really sell that you're transforming into a zombie
Excellent work, Miss Valentine
Excellent? But Chloe's terrible, she never remembers her
Mr Reyes, you can't let anyone drink from that beaker
Don't be silly, it's more than safe
I should know, I tried it myself
[Verse 2]
Up, up, down, down, left, right, A
I have to get out there
I can't let you do that, Jeremy
Mr Reyes?
You needy, pathetic, self-centered students
You think I wanted to teach high school drama?
In New Jersey?
My SQUIP says I can go all the way to Broadway
I just have to keep you from ruining my big night
[Verse 3]
You're going to SQUIP the whole cast
That's just for starters
That's not what I wanted
It's the only way to achieve what you want
I'll fight back, alcohol messes you up, right?
I'll get drunk
And I'll be back when you're sober
Unless you plan on staying wasted forever?
You're a computer, there has to be a way to turn you off
I would stop there, you don't wanna end up like Rich
Rich? What did he
[Verse 4]
I need Mountain Dew Red
That's it, green Mountain Dew activates you, Red shuts you off
Why do you think we had it discontinued?
To get rid of me now, you'd need a time machine to the 1990s
Or a friend who's so old school
He buys 90s soft drinks from the back room at Spencer's gifts
Too bad you don't have one of those anymore
Michael, call Michael
I'm going to improve your life, Jeremy
IF I have to take over the entire student body to do it
[Verse 5]
Michael makes an entrance
Michael!
I was just in the audience thinking, this is pretty good for a school play
Then I was like, this is way too good for a school play!
They've all been SQUIP'd, right?
Wait, you came to see me in the play?
Even brought my own refreshments
[Verse 6]
Is that?
Mountain Dew Red
Told you I did my research
Oh, hey, Jake, this is gonna sound weird
But if I hold down Jeremy
Can you make him drink this Mountain Dew Red?
Actually, that doesn't sound weird at all
Up, up, down, down, left, right, A
[Verse 7]
I was already pretty boss before
Now I'm totally boss and then some more
I'm livin' the upgrade
[Verse 8]
There you are, Jeremy
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
I just want you to know I'm not mad you broke my heart
And slept with my best friend
And I'm not mad you dated my best friend
And wouldn't sleep with me
He didn't sleep with you?
No
He didn't sleep with me
No
Oh, my god, why was I so jealous of you?
You were jealous of me?
That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me
Sisters forever, jinx
[Verse 9]
Michael, the bottle, theres' still a few drops left
How am I supposed to get past them?
Apocalypse of the damned, level nine
The cafetorium
Got it
[Verse 10]
Find the bad guy, push him aside
Then move on forward with your friend at your side
It's a two player game, so when they make an attack
You know you got a brother gonna have your back
Then you stay on track and, ah, remain on course
And if they give you a smack, you, gah, you use your force
And if you leave your brother behind, it's lame
'Cause it's an f'd up world, but it's a two player game, hey
[Verse 11]
I know what you're doing, Michael
I know what everyone's doing, all the time
I just feel so connected to you guys right now
You don't wanna drink that, Jeremy
Why not?
Because then you'll never be with her
[Verse 12]
You are the person I want to be with every day
And this is something that I've been afraid to say
That is not Christine
I assure you, it is
Only her fears and insecurities have been removed
You're the guy I am so kinda into (Into)
The guy I am totally into
This feeling is new, Jeremy, I love you
[Verse 13]
That's your cue
She'll do whatever I want
That's what I promised
Great, drink this
[Verse 14]
Wait
Ah (Ah)
Jeremy, J-Jeremy
Jeremy
