BUFFY 
Life's a show 
And we all play our parts 
And when the music starts 
We open up our hearts 

It's all right 
If some [bad word] out wrong 
We'll sing a happy song 
And you can sing along 

Where's there's life 
There's hope, everyday's a gift 
Wishes [bad word] [bad word] 
Whistle while you work 
So hard all day 
To be like other girls 
To fit in in this glittering world 

Don't give me songs 

GILES (spoken) 
She needs backup. Anya, Tara... 

BUFFY 
Don't give me songs 
Give me something to sing about (ANYA AND TARA: Ahhhhh...) 
I need something to sing about 

Life's a song 
You don't get to rehearse 
And every single verse 
Can make it that much worse 

Still, my friends don't know why I ignore 
The million things or more 
I should be dancing for 

All the joy, life sends 
Family and friends 
All the twists and bends 
Knowing that it ends 
Well, that depends 
On if they let you go 
Or if they know enough to know 
That when you've bowed 
You leave the crowd 

There was no pain 
No fear, no doubt 
Till they pulled me out 
Of Heaven 
So that's my refrain 
I live in [bad word] 
'Cuz I've been expelled 
>From Heaven 
I think I was 
In Heaven 

So, give me something to sing about 
Please 
Give me something 

SPIKE 
Life's not a song 
Life isn't bliss 
Life is just this 
It's living 
You'll get along 
The pain that you feel 
You only can heal 
By living 
You have to go one living 
So one of us is living 

DAWN (spoken) 
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it
