Before Dorothy lyrics

[CASTING DIRECTOR, spoken]
Next!
Well, if it isn't the friends of Dorothy
Word on the street is that you three have become hard to work with

[SCARECROW, spoken]
Let us explain

[SCARECROW]
I used to live on a field
My only friend was a crow
I didn't know what I didn't know
Life was a breeze, filled with ease
So I decided to go down that yellow brick road

[SCARECROW, spoken]
Then I got a brain and now I'm terrified
Did you know that the sun is running out of hydrogen
And it's set to implode in 5 billion years?

[SCARECROW, TINWOMAN & LIONESS]
Ah!

[SCARECROW]
Now, I tried my best
[TINWOMAN & LIONESS]
Now, she tries her best

[SCARECROW]
To give my brain a rest

[TINWOMAN & LIONESS]
To give her brain a rest

[SCARECROW]
With my therapist

[CASTING DIRECTOR, spoken]
Alright, Tin Tin, what do you got?

[TINWOMAN]
I was good at chopping wood
Living a life to the max
Those are the facts, just me and my axe
Things went to hell, down I fell
When I decided to go down that yellow brick road

[TINWOMAN, spoken]
Now I care too much about everything!
I can't even look at a pus*ycat without bursting into tears!
And then I get all rusty, oh, it's the worst
[TINWOMAN]
Now, I'm such a sight

[SCARECROW & LIONESS]
Now, she's such a sight

[TINWOMAN]
Sobbing day and night

[SCARECROW & LIONESS]
Sobbing day and night

[TINWOMAN]
Girl, it just ain't right

[SCARECROW & TINWOMAN]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before Dorothy
Oh, the things I would miss
Ignorance was bliss before Dorothy

[LIONESS]
I was meek, scared to speak
Even afraid of my tail
Nerves always on, hiding till dawn
Then came the day I got brave and I decided to go
Down that yellow brick road
[LIONESS, spoken]
Now, I've got rage issues!
Just yesterday I got into a brawl at the mall over a parking spot
What's wrong with me?
I mean, who shops at the mall?

[LIONESS]
Now, I've got the nerve

[SCARECROW & TINWOMAN]
Now, she's got the nerve

[LIONESS]
Chutzpah and the verve

[SCARECROW & TINWOMAN]
Chutzpah and the verve

[LIONESS]
And way too much to serve

[SCARECROW, TINWOMAN & LIONESS]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before Dorothy
Oh, the things I would miss
Ignorance was bliss before Dorothy
Her naivete made us glad and gay

[Gasp]

[LIONESS, spoken]
Oh, like you didn't know

[SCARECROW, TINWOMAN & LIONESS]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before Dorothy
Before Dorothy
Before Dorothy

[SCARECROW, spoken]
Ah, who are we kidding?

[TINWOMAN, spoken]
If we had to do it all over again

[LIONESS, spoken]
We wouldn't change a thing
