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 be 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
On the day it all went down
The Greek gods! Almighty titans of earth, sea, and sky!
But even they were children once. And they didn't have it easy
Their father, Kronos, feared the day his children would one day inherit the earth
Ah... Thank you Mrs. Dodds
But! One child, Zeus, escaped and devised a plan to rescue his brothers and sisters
He tricked Kronos into eating a rock. And what did Kronos do?
I didn't really get the story
At least it wasn't boring as I'd feared
But is it me, or is Greek mythology
I didn't want to pay attention
(Pay attention! Pay attention!)
Now I wish I had taken notes
But my focus is in question
And gods and indigestion caused a groan from all our throats
My best friend was acting strange
Why do you have peanut butter in your hair?
Ask Nancy Bobofit. She's a monster!
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you?
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you, I stopped it
Grover, you're a good friend
Dude. I'm your only friend
When I heard my name get yelled
The day it all went down-
I saw something odd in Mrs. Dodds' frown
Please see me by the sphinx
If this is about Nancy Bobofit
She only hates me because I tried to get her to stop wedgie-ing the first graders-
I have heard much about you
Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute
Kicked out of five schools in six years. One might question your parentage
Hey, don't talk about my mom-
And your father? That's right... You don't know who he is! (Begins laughing)
What's this about anyway?
You have something growing on your-
Mr. Brunner! What am I supposed to do with a pen- Sword! Woah!
I didn't know what just had happened
Was that all a creepy, crazy dream?
My teacher was a creature
Then she vanished in the ether
The next thing that I knew
I was where detention was held
I tried, Percy, but the headmaster stands firm in his decision
You were supposed to stay with the group. And this was your final warning
But it wasn't my fault, it was Mrs. Dodds!
She lured me away, she attacked me, and... You saw it!
And you gave me that pen! Only it wasn't a pen, it was a sword, and...
Percy... We've never had a teacher named Mrs. Dodds
Perhaps it's for the best. This wasn't the place for you
It was only a matter of time before-
That's not what I was going to-
You think I'm trouble. Just like everyone else
No, but... That is to say...
I can only accept the best from you, Percy
Someday you'll understand why
Yeah well, I'm sorry I let you down
Maybe he's right. You never fit in at this school anyway
I mean, uh, I'll see you on the bus
So if you think you are a half-blood
Better get headed to the exits now
'Cause folks will think you're lying
Better run and don't start crying
'Cause you're monster chow
Or stick around and maybe you'll learn from me
This ain't Odysseus' Odyssey
But, nobody listens to me
I didn't wanna be a half-blood
I didn't ask to be a half-blood
