Original Broadway Cast of The Lightning Thief Musical
Pick a Side (Bonus Track)
[CLARISSE]
There's a war going down, going down, yeah baby!
There's a war going down up there

[LUKE]
(spoken)
We don't know who stole the bolt

[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Sweet Luke, it doesn't matter!

(sung)
There's a war going down, yeah maybe, yeah maybe
We don't know who to blame, but it's a battle just the same
And it's real this time, it ain't some game
We'll have to pick a side because this could be do or die!
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!

[LUKE]
(spoken)
Percy will find a way!

[CLARISSE]
Don't make me gag
Percy couldn't find his way out of a paper bag!
We've got a choice to make can't be denied
We better pick a side
[SILENA]
(spoken)
Can't we just pick flowers and make friendship bracelets?

[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Wake up, Silena! You think a war between the gods stays in the heavens? If our parents fight, they're gonna want us by their side!

[SILENA]
(spoken)
My mom doesn't believe in war!

[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Oh yeah? Then why does she keep texting my dad?

[LUKE]
(spoken)
Whoa!

(sung)
There's a war going down, going down, yeah ladies
There's a war going down up there
There's a war going down and we better hope to Hades that Percy sets it right and we don't have to fight!

[SILENA]
But just in case, she's in my sight!
I'm gonna pick a side cause this could be do or die!
[LUKE]
(spoken)
Come on, Silena, we don't have to fight their battles!

[SILENA AND CLARISSE]
We need to know just where your loyalties lie!

[LUKE]
(sung)
You don't have to choose!

[CLARISSE]
This fight is gonna be one hell of a clencher
Prissy Percy's gonna lose his Poseidon adventure!

[ALL, LUKE]
We got a choice to make can't be denied
Don't have to
Pick a side

[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
Whoever my dad backs, I'm with them. Peace is a joke!

[SILENA]
(spoken)
Well, whoever says love is worthless, I'll pulverize them!
[CLARISSE]
(spoken)
YEAH!

(sung)
Now at camp we win

[LUKE]
(Hey)

[SILENA]
Be the champion

[LUKE]
(Wait)

[GIRLS]
The Last Olympian standing!

[LUKE]
(It's their fight, why bother?)

[CLARISSE]
We'll make our parents proud

[SILENA]
Make our voices loud

[GIRLS, (LUKE)]
Rise above the crowd we're commanding!
(I will never help my father)

[ALL, CLARISSE, SILENA]
We got a choice to make
Can't be denied
We got a choice to make
To earn our pride
We got a choice to make
Can't run and hide

You better
