about
In the not-so-distant future, after the Zombie Apocalypse, Zombies send their children to--Zombie High School!

- Track Name: Welcome to the End of the World
-
In the not too distant future, science fiction becomes science fact. While a new treatment is celebrated for extending millions of human lives past their expiration date, a dark future looms on the horizon. Should the test subject die of unnatural causes, the brain continues to function on the most basic of levels, leaving the poor soul doomed to walk this earth as a zombie; neither living nor dead. But as humankind is want to do, the creatures slowly but surely adapt - living in their old homes, working at their old jobs, and sending their children to...
zombie high school!
Welcome to the end of the world
This is where we all go to school
Learnin how to act and play nice
'stead of being flesh eating ghouls
Hey, it's not much but it's home
at the end of the world
There's so much space we can roam
at the end of the world
What do you think you would see
at the end of the world
What is this stink, oh it's me
at the end of the world!
Welcome to the end of the world,
Not much more left here to explain
If it seems like too much for you
Maybe we could lighten your BRAINS
Welcome to the end of the world
Welcome to the end
of the World
It's the end
of the world
It's the end of the
Maggie: Has anyone seen the principal's office? - Track Name: Everything's Going to be Great
-
What a feeling I can't express
I've hit the ceiling at ZHS
The sun is out and the sky is clear
I want to shout that I know this year
Everything's gonna be great
Everything's going my way
Never thought I'd see the day
When everything's gonna be great
What a feeling I can't explain
My head is reeling no more mundane
I'll try to fit in so wish me luck
hope I don't get bitten that'd really suck No!
Everything's gonna be great
I hope that they put on a play
Like Pride and Prejudice and Zombays
Everything's gonna be great
Put away the past
Hope I make friends fast
No way I can fall
Cuz I've seen it all
It seems so bizarre
How I got this far
but I'm here now and I have to say
Everything's gonna be great
I hope that you all can relate
I'll sing about how I can't wait
For everything coming my way
La La La
Derek: SHUT UP I CAN'T HEAR!
Maggie: Oh, Sorry. - Track Name: Everything's Not Going Great
-
What's this feeling I can't quite place
Everyone seems to hate my face
It's like I'm sleeping in some bad dream
Things are not at all what they seemed
Everything's not going great
and at a ridiculous rate
I think I might try to escape
cuz everything's not going great
Wa's - Track Name: Zombie High
-
There's a place I know
where you're 'sposed to learn
what to do with your life after you've been turned
Do you know the place
you go when you die?
Some might call it hell we call it Zombie High
Zombie High
Where we hope you'll lose your mind
Just like any school
we've got angsty teens
and they'll eat you alive
I mean literally
at Zombie High
We've got nerds and jocks
and of course the band
more pep rallies than you thought you could ever stand
The cheerleaders, they don't cause much fuss
I'd say that they need brains but it's too obvious
Zombie high
Where you're taught after you die
When it comes to humans you must pick a side
you can integrate or choose Zombie Pride
at Zombie High
Don't forget the Goths
Look out for the geeks
I hear they've been fighting for twenty-eight weeks (later!)
Zombie High
You'll be asking yourself why
Cuz the smell alone could kill a cow
fact I'm not quite sure how you're standing now
at Zombie High - Track Name: Principal's Lament
-
I was just a fool
who couldn't find his soul
when I felt the light of sentience return
So I built this school
and only had one goal
to help my undead kindred to learn
I had a dream the walking dead
would be a friend to man instead
of fearing for his foolish head
I had a dream ago
but now that dream it starts to slip
away from my decaying grip
and like rats on a sinking ship
I don't know where to go
but I know
even though
What has happened here
we've fallen oh so fast
is this where I begin to lose control?
This could have been the year
we put away the past
but the past it holds me tight and won't let go.
I had a dream that dream is dead
no way to be resurrected
and even if we lose our heads, they'll never take our souls
We have the means to stand up strong
and I've been dreaming far too long
I've beaten death, I'll beat this wrong
We'll show them how we've grown
'Cause I know even though
I'm a zombie
I still have a soul - Track Name: Zombie in No Time
-
So you want to be a zombie
well here's the thing
you gotta relearn how to dance and sing
We won't let you shamble for the rest of your days
So you'll have to learn a few of our undead ways
Put your arms down
reach for the ground
Then you will find
you'll be a Zombie in No Time!
Your unlife has started
your mind has departed
You're no longer living
just forget that whole thing
Now you're expired
You're worn out and tired
Don't give up Maggie,
Just wait soon you'll see
Close up your mouth
Your tongue's hanging out
Then you will find
you'll be a Zombie in No Time!
If you forget
do not regret
We will help you remember
Don't go roaming
or mouth-foaming
or you will be dismembered!
Straighten your spine
Walk a straight line
Then you will find
you'll be a Zombie in No Time!
I had a banana
but my dear friend Anna
would rather that I have a grape
They're squishy and mushy
and best of all juicy
and have the same texture as brains.
What a bad rhyme
I think Evan's lost his mind
At least you'll find
We've made you a Zombie in No Time! - Track Name: Biology

Maggie Mulligan
I've been dead so long
I don't know where to begin
I'd tell you
What state I'm in
but biology
won't let me win
so I'll show you my heart
how it beats again
Maggie Mulligan
For you
Maggie Mulligan
When I saw you
It felt like a sin
to love the living
to love a human
but you gave me
the warmest grin
now I feel you
underneath my skin
So I'll show you my heart
How it beats again, Maggie Mulligan
for you. - Track Name: The Plan
-
Stupid Maggie Mulligan
Who does this girl think she is
Not me, not me.
Doesn't she know I run this school
Trying to make me look a fool
We'll see, We'll see
I will bring her down
I don't mess around
Cuz I wear the crown
and I run this town
I can win their hearts
If I play my part
I can win their hearts
I can win their hearts!
I'll start my own society
make her think she wants to be
the lead
indeed
All the others will see the truth
and come running back to my crew
Go me!
Yeah me
I will bring her down
I don't mess around
Cuz I wear the crown
and I run this town
I can win their hearts
if I play my part
I can win their hearts
I will win their hearts! - Track Name: Don't Lose Heart
-
When I was young
When I was just a little girl
The zombies attacked
I lost my best friend in the world
I cried all night
but it was all right
When my mother
said to me
Don't lose heart
now don't lose heart
I won't lose heart
I can't lose heart
Now that I'm this
what would my mother say to me?
Would she even recognize
her daughter Maggie?
Would she know me?
Would she hold me?
Would she tell me
It'll be all right?
She'd say don't lose heart
now don't lose heart
I won't lose heart
I can't lose heart - Track Name: Mashed Hearts
-
Evan:
Maggie Mulligan
all my unlife
where have you been
I'll show you my heart
How it beats again, Maggie Mulligan
for you.
Maggie:
Don't lose heart
now Don't lose heart
I won't lose heart
I can't lose heart
Tess:
I will win their hearts
All:
My heart - Track Name: The Rally
-
You think you're cool
like you run this school
but you didn't know
you're a bunch of ghouls!
Integration:
We only have one goal in mind
To act like humans, and humankind
What's wrong with wanting to be like them?
It's better than living like we've been condemned
Zombie Pride:
The humans don't want any part of us
The thought of that is ridiculous
They hate our guts and they often say
that they wish we all would shamble away
Integration:
If we stop trying to eat their flesh
Maybe our kinds will be able to mesh
Clean up our faces, and don't try to bite
And party with the humans all day and night
Zombie Pride
They're probably getting ready to kill us all
Burn us in a pile like leaves in the fall
We should get ready for the human transgress
We should start building an army of darkness
Both:
Think you're cool like you run this school
but you didn't know you're a bunch of ghouls
Leah:
Wait you guys, we don't have to fight
All:
Shut up Leah
Leah:
We can work this out, we don't have to shout
All:
Shut up Leah!
Principal Weathers:
What's going on why are you fighting?
All this for a student biting
These aren't the wrongs that needed righting
and this you all should know
I had a dream we'd work together
Man and zombie birds of a feather
Tess:
Well no one cares ex-Principal Weathers, and now you have to go
Can't you see, it can't be
Cuz we're zombies
Yes we're zombies
Leah:
We don't have to fight
All:
Shut up LE-AHHHHHH! - Track Name: Hey, Let's Sing about It
-
We're not monsters, we're zombies
and as conscious beings, we have the same responsibilities as humans...and the same potential.
Let's sing about it - Track Name: Whether
-
There will always be those who judge you
Just because you're not the same
but that's their prerogative
You're not the one to blame
Whether living or undead
We all have a soul inside
It's our choice how to live (or unlive)
We don't have to hide
Whether or not there's blood in the veins
or if there's breath in the lungs
a human is still a human
and should be treated as one - Track Name: Goodbye from the End of the World
-
Goodbye from the end of the world
We hope that you all had a good time
Remember when we did that one song
and Evan made that terrible rhyme
Evan: Just drop it you guys!
Hey, everything turned out great
at the end of the world
Will you take me on a date (Yes!)
at the end of the world
I'm glad that we resolved the plot
Wait, there's something we forgot
Hey, Look at me I'm not dead
at the end of the world
Though now I am just a head
at the end of the world!
Goodbye from the end of the world
We hope to see you all again soon
If the undead isn't your thing
Maybe you'll come back for the tunes
Goodbye from the end of the world
Goodbye from the end of the world
It's the end of the world!
