A thrilling musical from Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster
Jasper in Deadland The Musical - Beat and Broken Spirits Lyrics
[Spoken]
[VOICE] Now entering the factories
[THE CHUCKSTER]
Punished souls, the grim condemned
A woeful lot be these
They suffer deathless, slaving breathless
In Mr. Lethe's factories!
[ALL FACTORY WORKERS] Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
[Spoken]
[GRETCHEN] Take me to Mr. Lethe now! I haven't done anything wrong!
[THE CHUCKSTER] Oh, pretty kitty, everyone's done something wrong.
Sisyphus, the clev’rest king
Some say too clever by half
Outwitted death till his dyin’ breath
When death laughed the last laugh. Ha!
[Sung]
[SISYPHUS & THE SUPERVISORS] Yeah, roll the boulder up the hill
Yeah, put your back into it, y’know the drill
Forget that sweat drippin’ under your crown
‘Cause when you push that boulder up
That boulder rolls right down
[WOMEN WORKERS] Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
[Spoken]
[THE CHUCKSTER]
Danaus had fifty daughters:
Evil, all but one
So forty-nine did “86”
Their husbands jest for fun
[Sung]
[DAUGHTERS OF DANAUS] Daughters, fill the jug with water
Pour it in the tub now
Squeakin’, girls this tub is leakin’
You’re never gonna fill it
Never gonna fill a tub with no bottom
Never gonna wash your sins when you got ‘em
Poor, baby, pour!
[ALL WORKERS] Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
[Spoken]
[THE CHUCKSTER] Brutus betrayed his best pal, caesar
A “backstabber,” y’might say
But a traitor’s fall is the worst of all
And so: et tu, brute
[BRUTUS & THE TRAITORS] In the mouth of satan
Is your fate awaitin’
Satan’s masticatin'
On your flesh, men
First we’ll rend you
Then we’ll mend you
Then we’ll send you
Back again!
[Spoken]
[AGNES] What are you?
[THE CHUCKSTER] I'm little Luke. And if you can believe it, I was an angel once!
That's right, pretty kitty. An angel. Anyone can lose their light, take me I fell from Grace.
And just like you I wind up here, this circle is a hell of a place. Now get to work!
[Sung]
[AGNES] Now it’s real
Get in the bed you made for yourself
Fate with a seal
Here is the price and you’ve paid with yourself
Over
All my hopes are over
[AGNES] [BRUTUS & THE TRAITORS]
Now it’s real In the mouth of satan, is your fate awaitin’
Get in the bed you made for yourself Satan’s masticatin', on your flesh, men!
Fate with a seal First we’ll rend you, then we’ll mend you
Here is the price and you’ve paid with yourself Then we’ll send you back again
Jasper!
[FACTORY WORKERS] Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, misery and woe! And woe!
Beat, beat, beat, beat and broken spirits
Oh, oh, oh
