[The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock, Alex Brightman - Act 2, Scene 8: Dewey’s Bedroom lyrics]
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 it's 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!
What is music when there's no one to hear?
