Soundtrack for Megamind the Musical

lyrics:

Things Could Be Worse

MEGAMIND’S MOTHER:
WE’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT UNTIL—

MEGAMIND’S FATHER:
—THE SUN GOES SUPERNOVA; STILL—

BOTH:
MY SON AT LEAST YOU’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE

MEGAMIND’S MOTHER:
AND AS YOU GO INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
I PROMISE YOU WON’T BE ALONE—

Here is your Minion. He will take care of you.

FATHER:
And here is your binky.
(he places glowing blue binky in escape pod.)

BOTH:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
OUR SON, AT LEAST, WILL LIVE
THANK THE MERCY OF THE UNIVERSE

WE’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT, IT’S TRUE
BUT AT LEAST WE’RE SPENDING THEM WITH YOU

(baby Megamind cries.)

MOTHER:
Oh, my love; shhh.
DON’T YOU CRY ANY MORE

FATHER:
MY SON, YOU ARE DESTINED FOR—

MEGAMIND:
I didn’t quite hear that last part. But it sounded important. Destined for—what?

CITIZENS:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT
SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE

TRUE, A BLACK HOLE HAS CRUSHED
EVERYTHING YOU LOVED TO DUST
BUT IT COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE WORSE

MEGAMIND:
I set out to find my destiny!

CITIZENS:
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT

IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
IT’S JUST THE END OF THE WORLD
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THEY’RE GONNA GET WORSE

MEGAMIND:
Turns out a kid from the Glaupunkt Quadrant had the exact same idea as me.
That was the day I met Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes. And our glorious rivalry was born!

Was this what I was destined for? A dream life, filled with luxury?

Apparently not! Even fate picks its favorites. No big deal.

CITIZENS:
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
TRY TO REMEMBER THIS
WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED

OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT

YOU’LL GROW UP BEHIND PRISON BARS
BUT YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS
BECAUSE THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS ARE GONNA GET WORSE

MEGAMIND:
After a few years, and with some time off for good behavior, I was given an opportunity to better myself through learning at a strange place called shool.

It was there that I once again ran into Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes.

He had already amassed a gigantic army of soft-headed groupies. He bought their affections with showmanship and extravagant displays of his power.

So I, too, would show off my special talents and win over those mindless drones!

That’s when I learned a very hard lesson. Good receives all the praise and adulation, while evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So fitting in wasn’t really an option.

CHORUS:
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
TRY TO REMEMBER THIS
WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED

MEGAMIND:
Some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world.

CHORUS:
YOU HAVE ONE FRIEND IN THE WORLD
SO IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE WORSE

MEGAMIND:
While they were learning the Itsy Bitsy Spider, I learned how to dehydrate animate objects and rehydrate them at will!

No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out.

The last one picked. The screw up, the black sheep…

STUDENT ONE:
Freak!

STUDENT TWO:
Weirdo!

METRO BOY:
Get him!

MEGAMIND:
The bad boy.

CITIZENS:
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT

IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
YOU DON’T FIT IN THIS WORLD

MEGAMIND:
Was this my destiny?

YOUNG MEGAMIND:
Being bad is the one thing I’m good at.

MEGAMIND:
If I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them all!

YOUNG MEGAMIND:
I CAN BE WORSE
I CAN BE SO MUCH WORSE
I CAN BE THE BADDEST THING
IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE

MEGAMIND & YOUNG MEGAMIND:
OH, YOU THINK THAT I’M BAD NOW?
I AM GONNA SHOW YOU HOW
I CAN BE WORSE
I’M GONNA BE WORSE

MEGAMIND:
I was destined to be a supervillain! And we were destined to be rivals!

And so began an enduring, epic, lifelong career. And I loved it! Our battles quickly got more elaborate. He would win some. I would almost win others! He took the name Metro Man: Defender of Metrocity.

I decided to pick something a little more humble.

Megamind! Incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!

CITIZENS:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT
SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE

YOU’VE FINALLY FOUND YOUR PLACE

MEGAMIND:
True, it’s getting punched in the face.

CITIZENS:
BUT THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE WORSE

MEGAMIND:
Yes, things could certainly be a lot worse!

Oh, that’s right. I’m falling to my death. Guess they can’t.

I’m So Bad

MEGAMIND:
THE EVIL PLOT IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE
I COULD JUST EVIL LAUGH WITH JOY
LOOK OUT NOW, METROCITY!
I PLAN TO BE A BAD, BAD BOY

GONNA SHOW OFF MY TRUE COLORS
LET MY FIENDISH BRILLIANCE SHINE
I’M MEGAMIND, THE EVIL GENIUS!
AND SOON THIS CITY WILL BE MINE!

BECAUSE I’M BAD, BABY
I’M THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN
AND I AM GOOD AT IT
AND METRO MAN IS GOING DOWN!

I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN
What can I say; it’s just a gift!
OH, I’M SO BAD AND EVIL—

MINION:
Well, hello, good looking; need a lift?

MEGAMIND:
Certainly do you fantastic fish, you!

MINION:
Get in the invisible car, you!

MEGAMIND:
OH, I AM BAD, BABY
THE BADDEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN
MY HEART IS BLACK AND WICKED
AND I’M SO HORRIBLE AND MEAN!

Nice work sending me the disguise watch, Minion!

MINION:
You got it, Sir!

MEGAMIND:
Ah, there’s no place like evil lair!

MINION:
Oh, the brainbots certainly missed you, Sir!

(Brainbots make ‘bowg’ noises of enthusiasm.)

MEGAMIND:
Did you miss your daddy? Who’s a menacing little cyborg? You are; yes you are!

OH, I’M SO BAD, BABY
PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY RUN
THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY
OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN!
(The Brainbots bring him his cape and help him into it.)
Ah, my cape! How do I look, Minion? Do I look bad?

MINION:
Disgustingly horrifying, Sir!

MEGAMIND:
You always know what to say!

IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD, MINION!
TIME TO UNVEIL THE EVIL PLAN

MINION:
This one’s sure to work, Sir!

MEGAMIND:
AND WE WILL DEFEAT METRO MAN!
(Roxanne stirs and begins to wake.)
Ah, she’s awake! Places! Places!

IT’S SUCH A GOOD BAD FEELING
WHEN THE CROWD’S CURSING YOUR NAME

I KNOW I MIGHT BE INFAMOUS
BUT INFAMY’S STILL FAME!
(Brainbot pulls bag from Roxanne’s head; all Brainbots exit.)
Miss Ritchi! We meet again!

ROXANNE:
Would it kill you to wash the bag?

MEGAMIND:
You can scream all you wish, Miss Ritchi! I’m afraid no one can hear you! (pause)
Why isn’t she screaming?

MINION:
Miss Ritchi; if you wouldn’t mind.

MEGAMIND:
Like this!
(screams)

I’M SO BAD, BABY
LET ME HEAR THOSE FRIGHTENED PLEAS
I’M JUST THE SUPERVILLAIN
TO BRING THIS CITY TO ITS KNEES

Except, of course, for you, Miss Ritchi. As my evil queen, you will, obviously, be exempt from any shows of obedience required from the ordinary populace.

ROXANNE:
Ugh, the evil queen joke is getting really old.

MEGAMIND:
It’s not—

ROXANNE:
Almost as old as this bag.

MEGAMIND:
Again with the bag?! You don’t seem to be taking all of this seriously!

DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM BAD, MISS RITCHI?
CAN’T YOU SEE THE PERIL YOU ARE IN?
MY EVIL PLAN’S COMPLETE NOW
AND THIS TIME I WILL WIN!

COME ON AND SCREAM FOR ME
LET ME HEAR YOU SHRIEK WITH FEAR!
(silence)
I SAID SCREAM FOR ME!
(Minion screams quietly.)
That’s what I like to hear!

I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN
THE BADDEST VILLAIN OF THEM ALL
I’M GOOD AT BEING EVIL

Today Metrocity will fall!

Better Than This

MEGAMIND:
I’VE GOTTA DO

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
BETTER THAN THIS

ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW YOU’RE

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
BETTER THAN THIS
PUT THAT GIANT BLUE HEAD TO GOOD USE
COME ON, MEGAMIND; JUST THINK—

MEGAMIND:
BUT SHE’S SO BRILLIANTLY SMART

ROXANNE:
YOU’RE SO SMART

MEGAMIND:
DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START

ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT

MEGAMIND:
A HEROINE LIKE HER DESERVES THE VERY BEST IN VILLAINY
BUT ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE’S SEEN

ROXANNE:
YEAH, I’VE SEEN THAT

MEGAMIND:
EVERY EVIL MACHINE

ROXANNE:
STILL NOT SCARY

MEGAMIND:
MY INVENTIONS AND MY GADGETS; NONE OF IT’S BAD ENOUGH FOR HER

I’VE GOT FLAMETHROWERS AND SAWS

ROXANNE:
SAW THAT LAST TIME

MEGAMIND:
AND I’M GRASPING AT STAWS

ROXANNE:
I THINK IT’S PAST TIME
TO GET OUT OF THAT DEATHTRAP THAT YOU’VE LOCKED YOURSELF INSIDE
IT IS SO VERY CLEAR

MEGAMIND:
IT’S SO CLEAR

ROXANNE:
I DON’T FEEL ANY FEAR

MEGAMIND:
I’M A FAILURE

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
AND I KNOW I’M NOT AS SMART AS YOU, BUT EVEN I CAN SEE

SOMEONE AS AMAZING AS YOU
DESERVES BETTER AND NEW
AND I WISH THAT I COULD TELL YOU
BUT YOU DON’T CARE WHAT I THINK

STILL, I PROMISE I KNOW
THE TRUTH UNDER THE SHOW

MEGAMIND:
GOTTA DO BETTER

ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE BETTER

MEGAMIND:
BUT MY PHASERS DON’T PHASE HER
THE SPIKES AND THE LASERS
I’VE GOTTA DO BETTER

ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW

MEGAMIND:
OH, I KNOW

ROXANNE:
YOU DESERVE

MEGAMIND:
YOU DESERVE

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
YOU DESERVE
SO MUCH BETTER
THAN THIS

Metro Man

METRO MAN:

CITIZENS:

METRO MAN:

CITIZENS:

METRO MAN:

CITIZENS:

CITIZENS:

HOT FLASH:
You know, I’ve really been thinking—it’s time for the Overlord to retire.

Anyone Can Be A Hero

ROXANNE:
Yeah! I mean, it’s like they say—heroes aren’t born; they’re made.

MEGAMIND:
…heroes can be made.
(Music for ANYONE CAN BE A HERO begins as they each get an idea)

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
That’s it!

MEGAMIND:
IT’S SO SIMPLE

ROXANNE:
IT’S SO SIMPLE

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE: 
SO VERY SIMPLE

MY EYES HAVE BEEN UNCLOUDED
AND I’M SUDDENLY SO SURE

MY THOUGHTS WERE LOST
IN ENDLESS DARKNESS
BUT YOU’VE LIT MY MIND ON FIRE
AND NOW IT’S WORKING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS BEFORE

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN SAVE THE DAY
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW I REALLY THINK THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE MY WAY

MEGAMIND:
Heroes can be made! All you need are the right ingredients!

ROXANNE:
Yeah! Bravery—

MEGAMIND:
Yes!

ROXANNE:
Strength!

MEGAMIND:
Of course!

ROXANNE:
Determination!

MEGAMIND:
Imperative!

AND JUST A LITTLE SMIDGEN
OF THE FORMER HERO’S DNA

I’LL MAKE A HERO

ROXANNE:
I’LL BE A HERO

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
MY OWN HERO

ROXANNE:
SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM
AND THAT SOMEBODY IS ME

MEGAMIND:
What?

ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
EVEN SOMEBODY LIKE ME
THERE’S DARK AND EVIL ALL AROUND US
BUT I CAN BE THE LIGHT OF CHANGE AND SET THE CITY FREE

MEGAMIND:
Yes!

ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT

MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT

ROXANNE:
I CAN—
You—you really think so?

MEGAMIND:
Of course you can, Roxanne!

ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT

MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT

ROXANNE:
I CAN BE A HERO

MEGAMIND:
BE A HERO

THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
BECOMES THE HERO THAT I NEED
I WAS FEELING LIKE A FAILURE
BUT WITH A HERO LIKE ROXANNE
MY PLAN CANNOT HELP BUT SUCCEED

ROXANNE:
I’ll find out what Megamind is up to—

MEGAMIND:
—I should have most of the equipment already in the Lair—

ROXANNE:
—I’ll figure out how to stop him—

MEGAMIND:
—I’ll start work on the formula tonight!

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU
BRAVE AND SMART AND SO DETERMINED
YOU’RE A HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN HEED THE CALL
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW YOU’VE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT
AND I’M NOT LOST AT ALL

ROXANNE:
IT’S SO SIMPLE

MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT

ROXANNE:
I CAN BE A HERO

MEGAMIND:
THE PERFECT PLAN

ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT

MEGAMIND:
THE CITY’S HERO

ROXANNE:
I’LL BE A HERO

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
MY OWN HERO

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN

Nice Guy

HAL:

Can she seriously not take a hint? I mean, how many times do I have to ask her out before she gets it? What, is she really still hung up on stupid Metro Man? Yeah, okay, he died, and it was like, sad and whatever. But come on! It is soooo obvious that I’m the one she should have been with all along!

WHY DO HOT GIRLS
ONLY LIKE JERK DUDES
I’VE PUT IN THE WORK, DUDE
I’VE BEEN, LIKE, A GOOD FRIEND

COME ON ROXAROO
HAVEN’T I BEEN THERE FOR YOU?
NO ONE ELSE CARES FOR YOU
LIKE ME

‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BUT I’M IN THE FRIENDZONE
WHY CAN’T YOU COMPREHEND

WE ARE MEANT TO BE
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH ME
COME ON ROXY CAN’T YOU SEE
YOU’RE MINE

‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
AND I’VE SHOWED IT
SO I’D SAY I’M OWED IT
AND I’M GETTING TIRED OF THE WAIT

MILADY’S A COQUETTE
STOP PLAYING HARD TO GET
IT’S TIME TO PAY THE DEBT
YOU OWE

YEAH, I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BEEN IN THE FRIENDZONE
I’D SAY I DESERVE AT LEAST A DATE

I’M SO STEADFAST
I’VE ASKED AND ASKED AND ASKED
BUT NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
ALWAYS

AND I’M A NICE GUY
SUCH A NICE GUY
THAT HAS TO BE WHY
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
WELL, ROXY MAYBE I
SHOULD STOP BEING NICE—

Oh, I’m totally kidding; totally kidding! I would never do that!

‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY

Going To Go Wrong

MINION:
Oh, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Why in the world does Sir even need a hero? It doesn’t make any sense!

MEGAMIND (as Space Dad):
The flames of my evil burn bright!
Now you say something cool back at me.

HAL:
You…bad! Aaaraaaghhhh!

MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN

HAL:
Smash! Smash! Smash!

MINION:
I CAN’T SEE HIM AS A HERO, SIR
AND REALLY I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
Can’t wait—LOL—smiley face!

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I REALLY FEEL THE FUTURE’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT

THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
Oh, what fun!

ROXANNE:
You don’t get out much, do you?
I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things to do. Now look at it. It’s a dump.

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
BUT SIR HAS GOT ONE OF HIS BRIGHT IDEAS
SO EVERYONE HAS GOT TO PLAY ALONG

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
Why are we cleaning up the city, Sir?

MEGAMIND:
Well, we don’t want to battle our new hero in a dump, now, do we?

ROXANNE:
It’s clean! But how? Why?

MEGAMIND:
Maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA

MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA

MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD I CHANGED THE PLAN

MINION:
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN

MEGAMIND:
FATE GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PATH
AND NOW I’M HERE AND PARTNERS WITH ROXANNE

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
Oh, that was such a funny story! And brilliantly told, by the way. Okay, now you tell one!

ROXANNE:
Bernard, I never knew you were so funny!

MEGAMIND:
And—I never heard you laugh before.

ROXANNE:
Yeah, it’s been a while. Feels pretty good.

THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE
I HAVEN’T QUITE GOT THIS DECIPHERED YET
BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOON IT WILL BE CLEAR

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

MEGAMIND:
NOTHING’S GOING TO WRONG

MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
AND THEN YOU’LL SEE I’M RIGHT, SIR
AND YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

ROXANNE:
I’M SO GLAD YOU HAVE YOU HERE

MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD TO BE HERE

MINION:

DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR

IT IS GOING TO GO WRONG SOON
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT

MINION:
SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL
BUT THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
EXCEPT TO STAND BEHIND HIM
AND THEN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES WHEN IT’S THROUGH

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG

Let Me Be Good

MEGAMIND:
I’VE READ THE COMIC BOOKS AND NOVELS
SEEN THE TELEVISION SHOWS
WATCHED A MILLION ACTION MOVIES
I KNOW HOW THIS STORY GOES

BEING BAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN
THE ONLY THING I COULD DO RIGHT
AND PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK SO HAPPY
AS THEY WATCH ME LOSE A FIGHT

EVERY STORY NEEDS A HERO
THE HERO ALWAYS HAS TO WIN
THE VILLAIN HAS TO BE DEFEATED
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

AND I’M TIRED

I’M TIRED OF THIS DESTINY
I AM TIRED
OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND SEEING ME
BUT I CAN FIX THAT
AND MAYBE THEN I CAN BE FREE

FATE, LET ME GO
LET ME GO
LET ME BE

LET ME BE GOOD

I WANT TO BE GOOD THIS TIME
WIPE THE LEDGER CLEAN AND START ANEW
BE SOMEBODY GOOD THIS TIME
SOMEONE WHO’S NOT EVIL AND NOT BLUE

ALL MY LIFE, I’VE NEVER THOUGHT
I COULD BE SOMEBODY GOOD
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—

MAYBE I COULD

I WANT TO BELONG THIS TIME
STEP ONTO THE STREETS AND NOT HEAR SCREAMS
PEOPLE SMILE AND WAVE THIS TIME
IT’S JUST LIKE THE CITY IN MY DREAMS

I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL
AT KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—

LET ME BELONG

AND MAYBE IT’LL WORK THIS TIME
AND I CAN RIGHT THE WRONGS THAT I HAVE DONE
AND I’LL LEARN TO BE GOOD THIS TIME
AND I’LL EARN MY PLACE HERE IN THE SUN

ALL MY LIFE, I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
I WAS EVIL TO THE CORE
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—

LET ME BE MORE

PLEASE LET ME BE GOOD THIS TIME
LET ME HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE HER SMILE
AND I KNOW I’M NOT WORTH HER TIME
BUT LET ME MAKE HER HAPPY FOR A WHILE

I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL
AT DOING WHAT I SHOULD
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—

LET ME BE GOOD

Stupid Girl

ROXANNE:
STUPID GIRL

STUPID GIRL

FOR BEING SO NAIVE
STUPID GIRL
STUPID GIRL
TO BELIEVE

THAT AT LAST
YOU HAD SOMEONE’S RESPECT
ALL OF THE LIES
HOW COULD YOU NOT SUSPECT

YOU’RE JUST A STUPID GIRL
AND IT WAS ALL A LIE
STUPID GIRL
STUPID GIRL
TELL ME WHY

YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BE MORE
THAN A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
YOU’RE JUST A STUPID GIRL

YOU WERE FALLING IN LOVE
WHILE HE WAS PLAYING A PART
STUPID GIRL
STUPID GIRL
STUPID HEART

There. It’s finished now. Time to go.

I’m So Bad (reprise)

MEGAMIND:
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM BAD BABY
PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY RUN
THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY
OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN

AND I AM BAD, BABY
THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN
THE ONLY THING I’M GOOD AT
It’s time to go down…in style.

See Through Lead

METRO MAN:
I HAVE EYES THAT CAN SEE
RIGHT THROUGH LEAD
BUT I GAVE IT ALL UP
TO SING INSTEAD

I USED TO SPEND MY TIME FIGHTING A SUPERVILLAIN
BUT PUNCHIN’ GIANT ROBOTS NEVER FELT FULFILLIN’
SO I CAME UP WITH A BRILLIANT PLAN
I FAKED MY DEATH AND NOW THEY CALL ME MUSIC MAN!

Only One Here Is Me

ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS    
SEEN THE GOOD IN YOU
ALL THE WORTH YOU TRY TO HIDE
I KNOW YOU’RE GOOD INSIDE
NOW I NEED YOU TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT

I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU TO BE A HERO
THE ONE I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT YOU COULD BE
NEED YOU TO BE IT NOW FOR ME
MEGAMIND, IT’S TIME TO PROVE ME RIGHT

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I KNOW I’M NOT A HERO
ALL I EVER DO IS FAIL
THE VILLAIN’S NOT MEANT TO PREVAIL

ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU TO RISE UP AGAIN AND FIGHT

SAVE ME
I AM ASKING YOU TO SAVE ME
I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN
THAT YOU’LL BE THERE TO CATCH ME IF I FALL

I’VE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO
I KNOW THAT I’M NOT WRONG
THE POTENTIAL’S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
AND NOW I NEED FOR YOU TO SHOW THEM ALL

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I COULD NEVER BE
ALL I’VE EVER BEEN
IS THE VILLAIN
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME

AND I’M NOT A HERO
THAT’S VERY CLEAR
LOST EVERY FIGHT TO DATE
YOU NEED SOMEONE GREAT
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE

ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU
MEGAMIND, I NEED YOU

MEGAMIND:
YOU DESERVE A HERO
TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE
BUT HEROES ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY
AND I CAN’T JUST SIT BY
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT A VILLAIN WILL HAVE TO DO

ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO

MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
ANYONE WOULD CHOOSE
I’M WELL AWARE
I DON’T HAVE A PRAYER
BUT YOU NEED A HERO
SO I’VE GOT ONE LAST FIGHT TO LOSE

I’M NOT A HERO
I DON’T SAVE THE DAY
IT’S NOT FATE’S DESIGN
THAT DESTINY’S NOT MINE
THE STORY DOESN’T GO THAT WAY
BUT I WILL TRY
TRY TO DEFY MY DESTINY
YOU NEED A HERO
AND THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME

Things Could Be Worse (reprise)

CITIZENS:
YOU’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT UNTIL
YOUR INEVITABLE DEATH, BUT STILL

MEGAMIND:
Normally, I’d just chalk this up as my last glorious failure—

CITIZENS:
SOMETHING IN YOU WON’T LET YOU GIVE IN

MEGAMIND:
—but not today.

I’LL FIND A REASON TO SURVIVE
FIND A WAY TO STAY ALIVE

What can I say? Old habits die hard!

Path We Choose

MEGAMIND:
ALL MY LIFE
I BELIEVED IT
WHEN THE WORLD SAID
THAT EVIL WAS MY DESTINY

FOR SO LONG
MY MIND’S BEEN SHACKLED
BUT I’VE CAST OFF THE CHAINS OF LIES
NOW, I AM FREE

ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
IF YOU LOOK INSIDE
YOU’LL FIND THAT YOU ARE GOOD

YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA DO THE THINGS
YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD

MEGAMIND:
I HAVE LIVED
WITHOUT HOPE OF RESCUE
ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVENESS
OR REPRIEVE

FOR SO LONG
I THOUGHT I DESERVED THAT
BUT MY MIND IS FREE NOW
AND HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE

ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
THIS BATTLE YOU ARE FIGHTING
CAN BE WON

YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS
TO THE SUN

MEGAMIND:
I’VE BEEN PUSHED DOWN
AND THE WORLD HAS TOLD ME
THAT I DIDN’T DESERVE
ANYTHING MORE

BUT I’M THROUGH
I’M THROUGH WITH FALLING
THIS TIME, OH, THIS TIME
I’M GONNA SOAR

ALL:
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
BUT THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE’RE
GONNA LOSE

FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
DESTINY’S THE
PATH WE CHOOSE
