Prologue / The Day I Got Expelled
Letras
The gods are real
Like the Greek gods
Like the ones you learned about
But weren't paying attention to
Well, they don't pay attention to you, either
Especially if you're their kid
The gods have godly things to do
Godly places they need to see
Godly plans they need to make
That don't include me
Yeah, the Gods are real
And they have kids
And those kids have issues, issues
Daddy doesn't love me and mommy is a god
Mommy can't protect me and daddy is a god
Mommy is too busy and daddy is too busy
Busy, busy, busy, busy being a god, yeah
You never listen to me, you never listen
You never listen to me, you never listen, oh
You never listen, but now you're gonna listen
'Cause it's time you heard our side of the story
It's time you heard our story
Look!
I didn't wanna be a half-blood
I didn't ask to be a hero seeking praise
Being a half-blood, it's scary
It mostly gets you killed in very nasty ways
I didn't want to cause trouble, trouble
I'm less a player and more the played
And honestly, I'd be totally fine
If I could make it to the next grade, next grade
It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad
It was danger that I smelled
The day it all went down
The day I got expelled
Maybe you don't know what a half-blood is
Because your life is normal and happy
And not constantly in danger
But my life? Let me set the scene
We were on this freaky field trip (freaky trip)
That's when this story should probably start
We were geeking out on ancient Greek
At the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art
We stopped by all the statues
And learned about the gods
With Mr. Brunner and my substitute, Mrs. Dodds
Hadn't done nothing wrong
Wasn't rude
Hadn't rebelled
