* = only strum once
Otherwise, strum D D, D D, U

(Also, you don't have to play the C C over the spoken lines, but you can if you don't just want dead air)

F F C C G G C C (Repeat over these spoken lines)

[LUKE] (spoken)
Come on, grab some ambrosia, and let the nectar flow

[PERCY] (spoken)
Why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire?
Is the food here really that bad?

[LUKE] (spoken)
Offering to the gods. It's not enough that their omnipotent and all-powerful,
they need to feel appreciated. To the gods!

[ENSEMBLE] (spoken)
To the gods!


[Chorus]

F F C C G G C C

Oh, things couldn't be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your parents run the universe

F F C C G G Am Am

Oh, things couldn’t be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your folks run the universe

[LUKE]

F F C C

My dad is Hermes

G G C C

He messengers things

F F C C G G C C

You'll know his sign by his shoes with those wings

F F C C G G Am Am

I'd wait by the phone but the phone never rings

F F

Oh no

F F C C G G Am Am

When your dad's a god, life can be tough

F F C C G G C C

I met the guy once and once was enough

C C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Annabeth?

[ANNABETH]

F F C C

My mom is Athena

G G C C

She’s smart and she’s wise

F F C C G G C C

She’s sworn off gluten and she’s sworn off guys

F F C C G G Am Am

If she came to Camp, it’d be a surprise

F F

Oh no

F F C C G G Am Am

Oh, and my step-mom, she hates me, and my dad works all day

F F C C G G C C

So I left Virginia and I ran away

[PERCY] (spoken) Wait, is that true?

[LUKE] (spoken) Everybody!

[Chorus]

F F C C G G C C

Oh, things couldn't be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your parents run the universe

F F C C G G Am Am

Oh, things couldn’t be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your folks run the universe

C C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Alright, who’s next?
C C
[KATIE] Oh! Okay, let me see…

[KATIE]

F F C C

My mom’s Demeter

G G C C

Goddess of grain

F F C C G G C C

She gets excited when it starts to rain

F F C C G G Am Am

But planting and planting and planting’s a pain

F F
Oh no

C C
[KATIE] (Spoken) Right??

F F C C G G Am Am

For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car

F F C C G G C C

I got a fern in some dumb mason jar

[GROVER] (Spoken) Ooh, ooh! My turn!

F F C C

I’m a child of Pan

G G C C

The god of the wild

F F C C G G Am Am

For those who love nature, they’re often beguiled

F F C C G G C C

He’s not really my dad, but I’m sort of his child

F F

Oh no

F F C C G G Am Am

He went for a hike to explore new frontiers

F F C C G G C C

And no one has seen him for thousands of years

[Chorus]

F F C C G G C C

Oh, things couldn't be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your parents run the universe

F F C C G G Am Am

Oh, things couldn’t be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your folks run the universe

C C
[PERCY] (Spoken) Chiron! Who’s your dad? [CHIRON] Oh, well…

[CHIRON]

F F* C C*

My father is Kronos

G G* C C*

Remember my lecture?

F F* C C*

He ate his children

[LUKE] (Spoken) Chiron wins… How about you, Silena?

[SILENA]

F F C C

The goddess of love

G G C C

My mom’s Aphrodite


F F C C G G C C

She tries to be cool, but mainly she’s flighty

F F C C G G Am Am

I’ll bring home a boy, and she’s there in her nighty

F F
[CAMPERS] Oh no

F F C C G G Am Am

I tried to seek help from even the Fates

F F C C G G C C

‘Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates

C C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Alright, Percy, it’s your turn
C C
[PERCY] If I try to sing, it’ll probably cause an avalanche
C C
[LUKE] We’re all friends here. Come on, give it a shot.
C C
[PERCY] Okay. Um…

[PERCY]

F F* C C*

My mom was named Sally

G G* C C*

She loved scary movies

F F* C C*

And food that was blue and…

C C
[KATIE] (Spoken) He’s doing it wrong
C C
[SILENA] Yeah, who’s your godly parent?
C C
[PERCY] Oh, I don’t know
C C
[LUKE] It’s alright. A A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent. Just give it a try.


[PERCY]

F F* C C*

So, my dad is some god

G G* C C*

That’s great, I guess

F F* C C* G G* C C*

Did he not want me, or not want the stress?

F F* C C* G G* Am Am*

Too bad he’s the worst and my life is a mess

F F

Oh no

F F C C G G Am Am

I hope that he shows even a trace

F F C C G G C C

‘Cause I’ve got some choice words to throw in his face!

[Chorus]

F F C C G G C C

Oh, things couldn't be worse

F F C C G G C C

When your parents run the universe

F F C C G G Am Am

Oh, things couldn’t be worse


[LUKE]

C C G G Am Am F F

But I don't care where our parents may be

C C G G Am Am F F

As long as you are here with me

[ALL CAMPERS]

C C G G Am Am F F

We don't care where our parents may be

C C G G Am Am F F

As long as you are here with me

C C G G F F C C

As long as you are here with me
