Confession

[ALL STUDENTS]
We're doing time in confession
It's the sacrament of oppression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of His business

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
I got so high I fainted!

[ENSEMBLE MAN]
Sometimes I don't recycle

[ENSEMBLE MAN]
I finally nailed my girlfriend!

[ENSEMBLE MAN]
I took some extra Nyquil

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
I blinked and it was over

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
I swear on all my might

[ALL STUDENTS]
I'll say no more
I'm sorry, Lord
We're doing time in confession
It's the poor man's therapy session
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of His business

[ENSEMBLE MAN]
I blessed the glow indigo

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
He gave me nine Hail Mary's

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
One ninety five Our Father's

[ENSEMBLE MAN]
This is so arbitrary!

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
I don't think God intended
Confession to be scary

[ALL STUDENTS]
Say that you'll forgive me, Lord!
We're doing time in confession
Where we're working out some aggression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of His business
Hell no, our shit's none of His business

[PETER AND MATT]
Father

[PETER]
Can the church be wrong?

[MATT]
Can a sin be right?

[PETER]
If something that you feel

[MATT]
Something that you saw

[PETER]
Goes against the law
What do you
Do?
What do I follow? [MATT]
Goes against the law

Detail
What do I follow?
[FATHER
The Church's teachings come
From centuries of study
Questions of dogma are best left
To greater minds than yours
This is not to say the Church is never wrong
But if you hold to her creed
You will never find yourself let down
Is there anything else?

[BOTH]
No, father

[PETER]
Hear my voice

[MATT]
Did you really hear me

[ENSEMBLE WOMAN]
Hear my
Voice
[GROUP OF WOMEN]
I don't think you see me
[LUCAS AND TONYA]
And you think you know me

[MATT]
Did you really hear me?

And you think you see me
[GROUP OF WOMEN]
Would you really
Know me?
[ALL STUDENTS]
Hear my voice

[PETER]
If I ever told you
If I ever told you
If I ever told you

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Okay, let's try to put yesterday's rehearsal day behind us, new day, new attitude, three, four...

[ALL STUDENTS (sung poorly)]
Two households both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
People, your first note is a C Natural! Ain't nothing natural about what you're singing!

[ALL STUDENTS (sung poorly)]
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
That's it, there is bad, and there is whatever ya'll are doing, have mercy! Go practice where I can't hear you

[IVY, spoken]
Sister Chantelle? I did some sketches. You know, like for the poster or the program?

[MATT, spoken]
Hey, that looks great!

[IVY, spoken]
Oh, thanks

[NADIA, spoken]
Bathroom stalls don't lie; she's good with her hands
