I Wish Your Dad Were Good Lyrics
[VERONICA]
I wanted someone strong who could protect me
I let his anger fester and infect me
His solution is a lie
No one here deserves to die
Except for me and the monster I created
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Heads up, J.D., I’m a dead girl walking!
[ALL BUT VERONICA]
Hey, yo, Westerberg!
[VERONICA]
Can’t hide from me, I’m a dead girl walking!
[ALL BUT VERONICA]
Hey, yo, Westerberg!
[VERONICA]
And there’s your final bell
It’s one more dance and then farewell
Cheek to cheek in Hell with a dead girl walkin’!
[HEATHER MCNAMARA]
Go Rottweilers!
Here we go, here we go now!
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Veronica! Jason Dean told us you’d just committed suicide!
[VERONICA, spoken]
Yeah, well, he’s wrong about a lot of things
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
I threw together a lovely tribute, ‘specially given the short notice…
[VERONICA, spoken]
Ms. Fleming, what’s under the gym?
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
The boiler room
[VERONICA, spoken]
That’s it!
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Veronica, what’s going on?
[VERONICA]
Got no time to talk, I’m a dead girl walking!
[STUDENTS]
Hey yo, Westerberg!
Hey yo, Westerberg!
Tell me what’s that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin’ to put you in the ground!
Go go, Westerberg!
Give a great big yell!
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to Hell!
[VERONICA, spoken]
A Norweigan in the boiler room, just like your dad
[J.D., spoken]
And here I thought you’d lost your taste for faking suicides
[VERONICA, spoken]
Step away from the bomb
[J.D., spoken]
This little thing? Well, I’d hardly call it a bomb
This is to trigger the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym
Now those are bombs
People are gonna look at the ashes of Westerberg and say ‘there’s a school that self-destructed not because society didn’t care but because that school was society’
You know the only place where Heathers and Marthas can truly get along is in Heaven!
[VERONICA]
I wish your mom had been a little stronger
[J.D., spoken]
Don’t talk about my mom
[VERONICA]
I wish she stayed around a little longer
[J.D., spoken]
Stop!
[VERONICA]
I wish your dad were good!
I wish grown-ups understood!
I wish we’d met before
They convinced you life is war!
I wish you’d come with me—
[J.D., spoken]
I wish I had more TNT!
[VERONICA, spoken]
Agh!
[STUDENTS]
Hey yo, Westerberg!
Hey yo, Westerberg!
Tell me what’s that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin’ to put you in the ground!
Go go, Westerberg!
Give a great big yell!
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to…
[GUNSHOT]
