Lightning Thief Cast, The - Good Kid Lyrics






[Percy:]
Six schools in six years
Been kicked out of every place

Everything I ever do is wrong
Never find where I belong
Everybody on my case

The same old story
The same old song:
"Don't act up, don't act out
Be strong"

I keep my head down
I keep my chin up
But it ends up all the same
With

[Percy & Ensemble:]
"Pack your bags, Percy
You're always to blame"

[Percy:]
I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone

I try, I try to be a good kid
A good kid
A good son

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take the fall
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
Guess I'm good for nothing at all

Gabe was a world class jerk
Dad was never there
The only family that really mattered?
Well, she vanished into the air

And now I finally find a haven
Someplace safe, where I can stay
'Till it's...

[Percy & Ensemble:]
"Pack your bags, Percy
Now go, go away!"

[Percy:]
I never try to do anything
I never mean to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
Yeah, Percy, that's a good one

But no one ever will take my side
All I ever do is take the fall
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
Guess I'm good for nothing at

[Ensemble:]
Ah...
Take the fall

[Percy:]
All the schools in six years
Every battle, everyday
No one ever tells me that they're proud
No one asks me
"Percy, how'd you like to come round and stay?"

All you get are bad grades
And a bum rap
And a bad rep
And a good smack
And no friends
And no hope
And no mom
She's taken away

I swear I never stole anything
I never meant to hurt anyone
I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid
A good kid, who's had a bad run

And all I need is one last chance
To prove I'm good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone...

[Ensemble:]
Six schools in six years...

    but pretty damn happy bc it’s better than both movies combined

  3. S.... 3....

    I want to see this musical

  4. S.... ....

    I always loved how retable Percy is.He never wanted to be a hero he just wanted to get through middle school and ends up saving the world and the funny thing is while hes having amazing adventures and wants a normal life we would trade places with him in a heartbeat.Am I right?


    Just me?

    Brilliant

  12. E.... B....

  13. K.... R....

  14. K.... R....

    Wait how was sally the only survivor on the plane is she supernatural?

  15. K.... R....

    Why can’t the movies be like this

  16. K.... R....

  17. K.... R....

    I wish this was in Apple Music

    K.... R....

    Kate Reacts101 it is on apple music i think

    This song really strikes deep chords with me Everytime I listen to it

    it really be like that

  20. n.... k....

    i want to hug him :/

  21. j.... k....

    Percy.....Jackson....musical? When did this happen? God I'm old.

  22. C.... R....

    HARRY POTTER WHO??????

  23. C.... R....

    these are so true to the books I love it so fricken muchhhhh

  24. B.... ....

    I love the raw emotion Chris puts in his voice, he definitely gets Percy down.
    Percy is such a sweet kid, but he's been through all this shit, which is why he's so bitter at times, and he's only good thing in his life is his mom, Sally. Sally is the perfect mom (along with Natalie Chase), she put Percy's needs before her own, staying with Gabe even though he abused her and Percy so that her son could be safe. I've always been more partial to Grover and Annabeth because I've been through some the stuff they've been through, and I never had (or will ever have) a good relationship with any of my parents, especially my mom.

  25. A.... C....

    I don't like Percy Jackson but I stumbled upon this and I actually really like it

  26. G.... K....

    I've been to six high schools, they start to get blurry-

    Oops, wrong musical.

  27. J.... :....

    PUT THIS ON APPLE MUSIC BEFORE I THROW HANDS

  28. e.... k....

    i cry every time

  29. d.... ....

    please dont let tik tok get to this ;-;

  30. C.... W....

    THIS MUSICAL IS SO GOOD IM SO GLAD IM FINALLY LISTENING TO KT

  31. C.... N....

    This song is a TRIP MY GUY

  32. N.... T....

    Stay with me here, Percy is Peter Parker, Grover is Ned, and Annabeth is MJ

  33. K.... K....

    Be honest, when he said "I'm good enough for someone", y'all thought of Annabeth.

  34. R.... K....

    Dam, I never get tired of this song no matter how many times I've heard it. It just captures Percy in the best way possible WAAAAAYYY better than the movies.

  35. E.... A....

    "I'm good enough for someone..."

    yeah, you're good enough for Annabeth <3

  36. B.... ....

    Something really interesting I noticed about this song was how in the list of phrases that Percy hears a lot, like “Don’t act up, Don’t act out” is his mom’s (who he adores as almost perfect) “Be strong” at 0:31. Even though she meant it as an affirmation for Percy, it just added onto the pressure he felt from the world around him. Take that information how you’d like, I just find it interesting and important

  37. O.... P....

    I’m going to this musical in a couple of months, and honestly I can NOT believe it. This has been my favorite book since I got past the second chapter. I live in L.A. so I’ll have to take a plane (o H god zEus nO) so please, wish me luck on my quest! ;’D

  38. B.... S....

    Sitting here wishing we got a decent movie series but this will definitely do lol

  39. V.... D....

    This song is Percy on Opposite Day

  40. G.... P....

    BROADWAY BABY

  41. E.... ....

    I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS YOU FINALLY MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO BROADWAY, THIS SHOW AND THE BOOK WERE MY CHILDHOOD, AND I'M OVERJOYED <3

  42. G.... E....

    It starts a bit like "I've been to 10 high schools... It starts to get blurry..."

  43. A.... A....

    Any TUA fans here? This song honestly reminds me a lot of Klaus.

  44. A.... T....

    Why is this song perfect for Virgil from Sander Sides?

  45. l.... w....

    wait guys- imagine nico in this musical

    l.... w....

    My singing is even worse than the sound of nails on a chalkboard. Ask Will, I made Will go deaf in his left ear for half a week when i tried to sing once...

    l.... w....

    Nico di Angelo AHAHAH

  46. B.... M....

    this musical hold such a powerful kind of frustration that brings a lot of emotions. Even though I can't relate to Percy's struggles, the song here gives me an idea of the frustration and pain he's going through

    B.... M....

    Bro same, you can feel how he feels and you can understand

  47. p.... r....

    "And a good smack"

    Also basically that entire part

    NO PERCY YOU DONT DESERVE ANY OF THAT

    gabe i swear I will murder you twice over.

    I wont hesitate to take your fucking statue and smash it into little pieces you fucking piece of shit and trash set on fire while also that feeling when you walk into a shit puddle with fresh socks on and all of the feelings like that combined you fucking douche

  48. L.... m....

    I am addicted to this soundtrack

  49. R.... ....

    I wanna hear the Seven's version of this

  50. b.... 1....

    Years later:

    Percy: *goes missing*

    Entire camp: AAAAHH PERCY'S GONE WHAT DO WE DO??!!!!!

    Annabeth: Seaweed Brain I am gonna judo flip you SO hard WHEN I find you.

    Percy: no one cares about me :(

    Fans: ...?

  51. c.... b....

    I love this song #me😂😂

  52. s.... s....

    this is like,, a nicer version of freeze your brain

    s.... s....

    Yeah exactly without the whole psychopath twist on it

  53. C.... E....

    At the beginning of the book Percy said, "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood." The first thing that Percy says in the musical is, "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood." This is better than the movies. It actually has the real storyline, unlike the first movie. they didn't even have an oracle in the movie!

  54. L.... P....

    *till it’s pack your bags percy* that’s gets me

  55. S.... I....

    Dang! Percy has such a good voice!

  56. G.... K....

    When I saw this live, I sobbed for the entire song

  57. C.... E....

    I’ve always loved this song but 2:15 to the end breaks my heart now

  58. S.... E....

    Um... why hasnt anyone told me about this!!

  59. A.... M....

    If Evan Hansen vaguely had the life of Jason Dean?

  60. G.... K....

    I’m not crying, you are

  61. G.... S....

    I wish this song was longer, it's SOOO good!

  62. M.... K....

    I love this play

  63. G.... C....

    why you slap a kid with dyslexia and adhd dang stepdad

  64. m.... ....

    0:41 - 0:54 is what I relate to spiritually 😂

  65. c.... ....

    this song give me chills. chris mccarrell has an amazing voice he’s perfect for the role of percy

  66. H.... C....

    This makes me cry laughing because I loved Percy Jackson when I was younger but this is not good! Great singing, terrible writing

  67. b.... i....

    i told my friend about the musical and she about lost it when I said Bianca was only in it for like 3 seconds

  68. C.... K....

    why must this song be so relatable

  69. G.... E....

    Chris macarrel is so good

  70. P.... G....

    We watched the movie version in my school, and I just found out there was a musical version, that I would've much rather have watched. IDK WHY BUT I LOVE MUSICALS

    P.... G....

    Chocolate & Chips have you read the books? They are the original content so if not you should!

  71. i.... s....

    "No one asks me "Percy, how'd you like to come around and stay?" ". Am I the only one who wants to grab Percy and give him a hug and take him home with me?

  72. K.... ....

    THIS SONG HAS SO MUCH FEELS IM CRYING

  73. K.... ....

    A 3 min song gets the character better than a 2h long big budget movie

  74. J.... G....

    pore Percy

  75. k.... M....

    I'M CRYING THIS MAKES ME SO SAD AND I LOVE IT

  76. T.... ....

    This has such a Words Fail vibe I’m NOT ok

  77. B.... C....

    2:21 omg wo I’m cri

  78. R.... f....

    This series always made me have fun imagining who my godly parent would be. Cuz I'm adopted, and I know my birth mom but all I know of my birth dad is his name. So I would imagine when I was younger that I was a halfblood.

    R.... f....

    Rhea Marcel Prepare to die ‘cause there would be a monster sooner or later to eat you.

  79. D.... D....

    All the dislikes are from Ms. Dodds’ fake accounts.

    *stupid furies*

  80. R.... G....

    I always cry with this song hElp

  81. C.... N....

    I tried to be emotional during this song

    But I kept thinking about _Fart-nuts_ and I began laughing instead of crying

  82. A.... ....

    And here I am at midnight listening to this...



    I'm a real good kid😂

  83. O.... B....

    This song is so fucking relatable

  84. E.... G....

    Wow! I didn’t even know this was turned into a musical! What rock have I been under?!? This is awesome!

  85. M.... S....

    This is the first song that I heard and made me want to see the musical. Also if you take some parts out they apply so much to real day life.

  86. �.... G....

    I would like to thank my reading teacher from last year for showing me Percy Jackson I said that on stage when she was there and we did a Percy Jackson play🔱

  87. D.... A....

    “NO FRIENDS!” *Grover sulking quietly sulking*

  89. P.... o....

    The end tho!O-O

  90. N.... R....

  91. G.... F....

    Tbh I want the Gods and Percy’s friends to listen to that song, just to understand how hard it is to him

  92. L.... P....

    Hands down best broadway song I have ever heard. It’s so dang relatable

  93. N.... C....

    Wish her back with the Dragon Balls.

  94. M.... K....

    I love this song so so much

  95. a.... ....

    *percy deserves everything that makes him happy, fight me*

  96. E.... S....

  97. c.... ....

    oh yeah yeah good kidddd

  98. L.... O....

    Why is Percy the sassiest, saltiest person in the world, but the sweetest cinnamon roll too? This is why the whole fandom freaking loves him. YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR US PERSASSY!!(and Annabeth)

  99. A.... S....

    Percy = best cinnamon roll boi
