You know what Norma calls her?
Scary White. Do you love it?
Scary White (repeated)
That's not my name!
Doesn't anybody ever get it right?
Carrie!
Why don't they remember
I am Carrie White?
Carrie!
Is it any harder to say than
Goddamn total spastic and weirdo and dumb bitch?
Doesn't anybody think that I can hear?
I hear!
'specially when I've got 'em screaming in my ear!
I hear!
Everyday they mock me and push me around
'til 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'm 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
Maybe I'll dance
and try hard to laugh more than I do now
and the world will open it's eyes
and for once the whole world will recognise
Carrie!
Then all those people who scream night and day
"Poor prayin' Carrie."
They'd see the new me and they might even say
"Look, it's Carrie!"
And finally,
I'd hear their calls,
sounding so sweet.
Thousands of voices forever repeating
Carrie
Carrie
Carrie
I am the sound of distant thunder,
the colour of 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!
