2019 Off-Broadway We Are the Tigers the Musical - Captain of the Team Lyrics
REESE: It must be nice being her It must be nice seeing four years ahead The best four years Of your life It must be nice
RILEY: (spoken) When we're playing home games, it's equally important that we keep up the same level of spirit that we do at away games. Sometimes people think that because we're on our own turf, it means we can lose some of that enthusiasm, and that's definitely not true
REESE: Four years ago that was me Who pushed too hard trying to get on the team Who spent all her time at the gym Didn't get in
So I wear a costume, sure I'm the Tiger But I'm a joke to all of my friends Give me the chance to show them what I learned I could be better than any of them
Can't you see me on the front lines Cheering to the whole school Everybody lives to serve me Doesn't matter what I look like Pictures in the yearbook They all know they don't deserve me
I am the captain and I'm the class president I am the face of this town I'm not defined by years on the sidelines Being the girl no one wants to be around
I hear them saying:
RILEY, ANNLEIGH, CAIRO, MATTIE: Captain of the team Will you please come to our party Oh my god, your hair looks great! Where'd you get that dress
Captain of our dreams We are really oh so sorry We've been wrong for years And now we see that you're the best
I know we were mean to you in 8th grade And 7th grade and 6th grade And 5th grade and 4th grade And 3rd grade and 2nd grade But things change
REESE: Things change
RILEY: (spoken) High school will hurt. Your boyfriends will break up with you. Your parents will fight, you'll fail your classes. But when you're a Tiger, your team won't let you fall. This uniform is a promise to protect your team, It's a promise they'll protect you, And anyone who breaks that promise, breaks us. As your captain, I find that kind of behavior unacceptable. That field is an escape from the world, And we're lucky to call it our home
REESE: So let me be captain, hero, and Tiger I gave too much to let this all go I could be someone that they would admire I have to try til I finally know
What it's like there on the front lines Cheering to the whole school Finally for once I'm happy Classmates copy what I look like Cover of the yearbook Nobody is laughing at me
I am the captain And I'm the class president Give me a chance I can't walk away One final shot with all that I've got Don't want a lot, they just have to say!
Ladies!
RILEY, ANNLEIGH, CAIRO, MATTIE: Captain of the team Will you please come to our party Oh my god your hair looks great You turned out so well!
REESE: (spoken) I know!
RILEY, ANNLEIGH, CAIRO, MATTIE: Captain of our dreams We are really all so sorry That we made your every day A constant waking hell
REESE: I'll forgive the years of pain and calling names And hopeless days and praying it would go away And yet it stayed, for years I paid But things change
RILEY, ANNLEIGH, CAIRO, MATTIE: Things change
