Lyrics

You know what Norma calls her?
 Scary White, ha-ha
 Do you love it? (Scary White, Scary White, Scary White)
 (Scary White, Scary White, Scary White, Scary White)
 That's not my name!
 Doesn't anybody ever get it right?
 Carrie!
 When'll they remember I'm Carrie White?
 Carrie!
 Is it any harder to say than "goddamn toad" and "spastic" and "weirdo" and "dumb bitch"?
 Doesn't anybody think that I can hear?
 I hear!
 'Specially when I got them screaming in my ear
 I hear!
 Every day they mock me and push me around 'til I drop
 If I had a wish, God, I wish they'd stop
 When will they? (Scary White, Scary White, Scary White)
 I wish they'd (Scary White, Scary White, Scary White)
 When will they? When will they? When will they?
 Sometimes their hatred is out of control
 God, how they hurt me!
 Mama says suffering is good for the soul
 But they hurt me
 And if I could, I'd bring them all down to their knees!
 I'd make them sorry forever for teasing Carrie
 Carrie, Carrie!
 I will not cry
 I'm okay
 I try so hard to play their way
 Why do they find it so hard to say Carrie?
 Why do they always treat me so bad?
 They all know my name
 It's Carrie!
 I don't know why they all get so mad
 It's always the same!
 What's going on deep in me?
 All of these feelings suddenly
 If I am changing, will I still be Carrie?
 Or what if I am somebody new?
 Imagine, the things I might do!
 I might take a chance, I've always wondered how
 Or maybe I'll dance and try hard to laugh more than I do now
 And the world will open its eyes
 And for once the whole world will recognize Carrie!
 Then all those people who scream night and day
 "Poor praying Carrie!"
 They'd see the new me
 And they might even say
 "Look! It's Carrie!"
 And finally, I'd hear that word
 Sounding so sweet!
 Thousands of voices forever repeating, "Carrie"
 "Carrie, Carrie!"
 I am the sound of distant thunder
 A color, a flame!
 I'm Carrie!
 I am a song of endless wonder
 That no one will claim
 But someday
 Oh my, someday!
 Someone will know my name!
