The Last Day of Summer

Lyrics

What do you do when the quest has ended?
 What do you do when the battle's won?
 So many questions left unanswered
 So many things still left undone
 What do you do when it's up to you to choose
 Has something ended or begun?
 Stay or go, pick one
 Do I stay because it's safer?
 Back to the home I left behind?
 I could stay and train for a piece of the action
 But what about peace of mind?
 Ugh, what's my deal?
 Why do I feel there's something left I still need to find?
 Where do you go when it's over?
 What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?
 Attention, campers
 It's the last day of summer
 If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown
 Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains!
 Perry Johanssen, this means you
 It's Percy Jackson!
 Whatever!
 How come you don't go home?
 I tried
 Once
 My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, and my stepmom couldn't deal with me
 It's just asking for trouble
 Sometimes family is worth the trouble
 Believe me
 I guess we both have a choice to make
 Seaweed brain
 Where do you go when it's over?
 What do you do when you've come to the last day of summer?
 Luke!
 If it isn't the big hero
 I've barely seen you since I got back, you avoiding me?
 Not at all
 Tough last day?
 I thought when I finished my quest, everything would make sense, but it doesn't
 It's the last day of summer, but I don't feel like anything's over
 I get it
 My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life
 I came back changed, but the rest of camp was exactly the same
 Chiron always says our parents made camp
 As this safe magic space
 The truth?
 It's so they don't have to see us
 They won't bother to show their face
 It's time to make the world our own
 Time someone put them in their place
 Ares thought we were starting a war between the gods, but it was bigger than that
 It's about wiping them out and taking our turn
 You're the lightning thief
 The Oracle warned you, "betrayed by a friend"
 You set me up
 You were trying to free Kronos
 Why?
 He promised me the power to defeat our parents
 Yeah, he's using you to get back at the gods!
 Good!
 I've been here since I was a kid
 I did everything they ever asked, yeah, I did
 And for what?
 You know this world will never be ours (what do you do)
 As long as our parents rule over the stars (on the last day of summer?)
 So I'll do anything (summer, summer)
 I don't care if I hurt anyone (summer, summer, summer, summer)
 It doesn't pay to be a good kid, a good kid, a good son (summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer)
 (Summer, summer, summer)
 The gods were never on our side (summer, summer, summer, summer)
 So I think it's time we watch them fall (summer, summer, summer, summer)
 And soon you'll see what I did (summer, summer, summer)
 Soon there'll be no gods at all! (Summer, summer, summer, summer, summer, summer!)
