Align:    
  • (Miss Bell)
  • Artists are special celestial fools
  • first with the talent for breaking the rules
  • unfit for confinement in cubicle schools
  • artists are special
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • Artists are people not primitive fools
  • they learn what to do before breaking the rules
  • they know that the brain is the finest of tools
  • artists are people
  • (Both)
  • Whether in theatre or music or dance
  • they have to be given the chance
  • (Miss Bell)
  • to fly by the seat of their pants
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • to develop their minds and be nurtured
  • (Both)
  • like plants
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • Artists are part of the same human race
  • as everyone else in the same bloody place
  • you learn to survive or you fall on your face
  • artist or not
  • artist or not
  • (spoken)
  • Greta, you know that 90% of these kids
  • will never make a living in the arts
  • we have to prepare them for life
  • or what's Tyrone gonna do if he can't make it as a dancer
  • mop floors?
  • (Miss Bell)
  • Tyrone will make it
  • (sung)
  • I've seen them come and go for all these years
  • kids with no talent for anything more than carrying spears
  • another year another shipment
  • lacking the drive or the style or the basic eqipment
  • this one is different.
  • And i can see me there unremarkable me
  • the kid in the ballet class
  • the princess i wanted to be
  • tutu and point shoes
  • hair in a bun
  • completely unnoticed as if i were no-one
  • this one is different i tell you
  • this one can dance
  • this one is virtual i tell you
  • give him a chance
  • (spoken)
  • Tyrone will make it, he will
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • Fine, and i wish him luck
  • but this is an academic institution with academic standards
  • Oh i know,
  • we're the fame high school now
  • ever since that movie came out
  • they come here expecting to become stars
  • and you people think you run the show here
  • oh teach them to perform and who cares if they can read or write
  • who needs to write anyway
  • as long as they can sign their name on a contract
  • (Miss Bell)
  • and who are you?
  • defender of the true faith
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • Exactly!
  • (sung)
  • What did they tell me when i was a girl
  • Learn...
  • Day after day when i was a girl
  • Learn...
  • The land of dreams waits over the meadow
  • if you can find a way
  • out of the ghetto
  • learn, learn
  • put your faith in books
  • that will protect you
  • put your faith in books
  • and a mind of your own
  • neither charm or looks
  • will make them respect you
  • you must learn to stand
  • you must learn to stand alone
  • (Miss Bell)
  • this one is different
  • (miss Sherman)
  • put your faith in books
  • (Miss Bell)
  • this one can dance
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • put your faith in books
  • (Miss Bell)
  • artists are special
  • (Miss Sherman)
  • artists are people
  • (Both)
  • this one must have the chance
  • this one must have the chance.
