The Breakdown Lyrics by Original Off-Broadway Cast of We Are The Tigers

We Are the Tigers (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

2019

[RILEY, spoken]
Now, if you're all done yelling at each other, can we please finally get some work done? We have a bright future here, can't we just put the past behind us and move on?
[sung]
We are the soul of the school
The pride in the name
The heart and the flame
Our words are pure inspiration
Years of creation changing the nation
[KATE, spoken]
Riley, maybe we should skip the pep rally
[RILEY, spoken]
Why? I'm the best I've ever been. This was the only thing I - we - wanted
[sung]
D-E-F-E-N-S-E
Tigers go for victory
Stomp, stomp, clap, spin
Tigers fight and Tigers win
Regionals is almost here
So stop complaining
Do the cheer
[KATE, spoken]
We're not complaining. We're dealing with the death of our friends
[RILEY]
No more time gets wasted
If you're gonna have a dream, you have to chase it
Or just as you lose steam, they go and take it
R.I.P. the 'worst team ever'
[CAIRO, spoken]
Riley--
[RILEY]
Do you want to settle
Do you want to sit back
And watch life go by
Do you want to settle
Or do you want to fly
This time, I will be stronger
This time, I last longer
This time, I won't waste it
I won't waste it
I won't waste it
Captain of the team, would you please come to our party?
Oh my god your hair looks great
You turned out so well
[CAIRO, spoken]
Riley, can I have the key?
[RILEY, spoken]
No, Cai, you can't
[CAIRO, spoken]
We all want to go to Regionals, just give me the key-
[RILEY]
Who stayed on track when the world was on attack
And when girls don't have your back
You have to c-c-c-c-cut 'em
It was me who decided
We could be so much more
Than they could see
If I didn't do it
What, what, what, what, what would we have done?
We would be no one
Please forgive me for doing what's best for you
Riley is a wallflower
Make this easier
