Paroles de ' Confession ' par Bare: A Pop Opera

STUDENTS
We're doing time in confession
It's a sacrament of oppression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business

TANYA
I got so high I fainted

ALAN
Sometimes I don't recycle

ZACK
I finally nailed my girlfriend

LUCAS
I took some extra Nyquil

KYRA
I blinked and it was over

DIANE
I swear with all my might

STUDENTS
I'll sin no more, I'm sorry Lord

We're doing time in confession
It's a poor man's therapy session
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business
Hell no, our shit's none of his business

ZACH
Where does the 'Glory Be' go?

TANYA
He gave me nine 'Hail Mary's

KYRA
Will you need five 'Our Father's?

ALAN
This is so arbitrary

DIANE
I don't think that God intended confession to be scary

STUDENTS
Say that you'll forgive me, Lord

We're doing time in confession
Where we're working out some aggression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business
Hell no, our shit's none of his business

Father...

Goes against the law, what do you do?

MATT
Do you tell?

BOTH
What do I follow?

PRIEST
The church's teachings come from centuries of study
Questions of doctrine are best left to greater minds than yours
This is not to say the church is never wrong
But if you hold to her creed you'll never find yourself let down

Is there anything else, son?

PETER & MATT
No, father

PETER
Hear my voice

MATT
Did you really hear me?

IVY

KYRA
I don't think you see me

MATT & NADIA

ZACH
Did you really hear me?

DIANE & RORY
Would you really know me?

ALAN
Do you think you see me?

ALAN, RORY, ZACH & DIANE
Hear my voice

PETER
If I ever told you...
If I ever told you...
If I ever told you...

SISTER CHANTELLE
Ok, let's just try to put yesterday's rehearsal behind us. New day, new attitude. Three, four...

CHOIR
Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene

SISTER CHANTELLE
People, your first note is a C-natural, ain't nothing natural about what you're singing!

CHOIR
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean

SISTER CHANTELLE
That's it. There is bad, and then there's whatever y'all're doing. Have mercy! Go practice somewhere I can't hear you.

IVY
Sister Chantelle, I did some sketches. You know, like, for the poster or the program.

SISTER CHANTELLE
Uh-huh.

JASON
Hey, that looks great.

IVY
Oh, thanks.

NADIA
Bathroom stalls don't lie, she's good with her hands.
