Hell in the Hallways Lyrics

[Intro: Spencer Charnas]
The girl that was lost
The girl no one saved, with blood on her face
The girl that they crossed
They’ll never contain and no one is safe
The girl that was lost
The girl no one saved, with blood on her face
The girl that they crossed
They’ll never contain and no one is safe
Maybe now they’ll remember her name

[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
Ostracized and terrorized
The outcast knows no way to survive
Plagued by fear, year after year
Her cries for help fell on deaf ears
Forever unknown and so alone
Where the hell in the hallways always feels like home

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
The girl that was lost
The girl no one saved, with blood on her face
Maybe now they’ll remember her name
The girl that they crossed
They’ll never contain and no one is safe
Maybe now they’ll remember her name

[Verse 2: Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Spencer Charnas, both]
Stepped on like shit and drowned in their spit
They tore her world apart for their own benefit
But they can’t hold back the certain wrath of a pissed off prom queen psychopath

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
The girl that was lost
The girl no one saved, with blood on her face
Maybe now they’ll remember her name
The girl that they crossed
They’ll never contain and no one is safe
Maybe now they’ll remember her name

[Bridge: Spencer Charnas, Both]
When happily ever after came crashing from the rafters
She knew she wasn’t meant to wear their crooked crown
But look who’s laughing now

[Soundbite]
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for:
Your Bates High Prom queen for 1976 is…Carrie White!

[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
Covered in blood, they called it good clean fun
But now her mind is a weapon that they can’t outrun
When rivals attack a school’s spirit strikes back

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
The girl that was lost
The girl no one saved, with blood on her face
Maybe now they’ll remember her name
The girl that they crossed
They’ll never contain and no one is safe
Maybe now they’ll remember her name

When happily ever after came crashing from the rafters
She knew she wasn’t meant to wear their crooked crown
But look who’s laughing now

[Outro: Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
Look who's laughing now
Well look who's laughing now
Well look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Well look who's laughing now
