[LUKE] The gods are real

Like the Greek gods

[ANNABETH]

Like the ones you learned about

But weren't paying attention to

[LUKE AND ANNABETH]

Well, they don't pay attention to you, either

[ALL]

Especially if you're their kid

[GROVER]

The gods have godly things to do

[GROVER AND SILENA]

Godly places they need to see

[CLARISSE]

Godly plans they need to make

That don't include

Me

[ALL]

Yeah, the Gods are real

And they have kids

And those kids have

Issues

Issues

[BOYS]

Daddy doesn't love me

And mommy is a god

[GIRLS]

Mommy can't protect me

And daddy is a god

[ALL]

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

[PERCY]

(Spoken)

Look!

(Sung)

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

(Spoken)

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...? [hums] Let me set the scene

(Sung)

We were on this freaky field trip

[ENSEMBLE]

Freaky trip

That's when this story should probably start

[ALL]

We were geeking out on ancient Greek

At the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art

[PERCY]

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

[ALL]

On the day it all went down

[PERCY]

The day I got expelled
