Lyrics One School - Original Radio Cast, Lindsay Mendez, Anthony Ramos

One School

I didn’t say yes.
I didn’t say I’ll think about it.
I can’t tell you my real
name, but yes, I can confirm that I did get asked to the prom
The undercover officer who played Naomi is 25 years old, a new recruit at the
Palm Beach Police Force
My assignment: to pose as a senior and find out who’s buying, who’s selling.
Mostly pills and weed, you would not believe how easy it is to get pills and
weed
What’s the hardest part?
Pssh—the cafeteria.
Imagine hundreds of teenagers yelling and running full
speed.
And the lack of deodorant.
Let’s just say I would drink at the end of
the day.
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life.
If I’m doing my job and I’m doing it right, I am making life safer one school
at a time
So he asked you to prom?
Right.
I gave every excuse.
I said it’s too expensive, which is totally true,
by the way.
I told him, look, I’m just a transfer, I wouldn’t feel comfortable
with all your friends.
And it’s true you make friends on the job, then it ends.
You meet kids who are sensitive, smart, and defenseless.
Those are the ones
you remember, the ones that you think about after you’re gone
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life.
If I’m doing my job and I’m doing it right, I am making life safer one school
at a time
Meanwhile—
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?
What the heck I gotta do?
Tell me who I gotta be for you to be with me
Do you smoke?
What?
Do you smoke weed?
No, I don’t.
But if that’s what you need, I can find some for you.
I can be your supply
You would do that for me?
I can be your guy.
Oh, yes!
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life
I’ll get whatever you need!
If I’m doing my job and I’m doing it right, I am making life safer one school
at a time
What are you thinking as you’re trying to get this pot to sell her?
I’m thinking, what the heck am I doing?
Cause I don’t hang out with guys like
that
So what did you do?
