The Ballad of Roxie Blackwood
(t/w murder, blood, an asshole father)
(fuck you Eddie)

{CHAR}
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Down on your knees before the queen
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Down on your knees before the queen
Roxie Blackwood was a popular bitch (mhm)
Hot bod
Hot girl
Cheer captain
Plus she was rich (oh yeah)
That girl had everything till hiccup and hitch:
Nova Daniels lost a leg in a wreck (am-pu-ta-ted)
The nominations for prom royalty came (uh-huh)
Our Roxie's senior year and queen was her claim (uh, duh)
Till gossip stirred the student body would name
Nova Daniels, queen of the prom (pi-ty-vote)

{CHAR/EDDIE}
"Roxie,"

{CHAR}
Her father said

{CHAR/EDDIE}
"Life is a prom. I know you won't disappoint me and mom."

{CHAR}
You taste the silver, Roxie
You taste the crown
You thirst for blood from the roses in hand
Whoa
You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
As they crown you queen of high school land
Check Roxie, choose Roxie, vote for Roxie Blackwood
Check Roxie, choose Roxie, vote for Roxie Blackwood
So obsessed, our Roxie near lost her mind
To life un-prom related, Roxie was blind
She shoved her squad, her clique, her girlfriend behind
Still Nova had a hold on the lead (poor, poor, Nova...)
Soon Roxie's sanity was hung by a thread
Her BFF's proclaimed her socially dead
Till then at last her girlfriend texted and said:

{CHAR/ARTEMIS}
"I'm taking Nova to the senior prom."

{CHAR/EDDIE}
"Roxie,"

{CHAR}
Her father said

{CHAR/EDDIE}
"Why be so calm? There's just no future for a princess at prom."

{CHAR}
You taste the silver, Roxie
You taste the crown
You thirst for blood from the roses in hand
Woah
You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
As they crown you queen of high school land
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Down on your knees before the queen
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Down on your knees before the queen
Some girls are rational, but Roxie was not
She stared in mirrors thinking one single thought:
(Nova, Cecilia, Eunice Delphine, Rosabelle, Maxxie, Paige, Quiara)
There's seven reasons this crown's not good as got
And so on the night of prom, mercy
Thus went her plot
"P" is for Paige drinking poisoned punch
"R" is for Rosabelle dashed on a rock - crunch
"O" is what Cecilia said when Roxie bludgeoned her brains
And "M" is Maxxie's marinated remains
But! But!
"Q" is for Quiara, quiet, drowned in the pool
And "U" is for Eunice Delphine's pieces spread 'round the school
And "E's" are for the easy ways in five minutes top
A one legged girl can bring an "N" for end by calling the cops

{BEE}
What a bitch

{CHAR}
You got your silver, Roxie
You got your crown
You got their blood on your roses in hand
Woah
You donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance
As you crowned you queen of high school land
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
God save the queen
Down on your knees before the queen
God save the queen
The queen of high school land
Oh, the queen of high school land
They wrapped your wrists in silver
They took your crown
As they washed your bloody fingers and hands
Into a tight straitjacket, small padded cell
Screaming

{CHAR/ROXIE}
"I'm the queen of high school land!"

{CHAR}
At least in your head, you're queen of high school land
Pity the dead
You're queen of high school land
Check Roxie, choose Roxie, vote for Roxie Blackwood
Check Roxie, choose Roxie, vote for Roxie Blackwood
