ALMOST OR IS 5 YEARS SINCE CRYBABY I CANNOT MELANIE YOU HAVE ME OUT OF MY SEAT SCHOOL TMR IS GONNA BE ALL BOUT YOU

Melanie's voice is like eating puddin, just happiness.

my fingers have never moved so fast to click on these

I don't know if everyone noticed but, when the Principal's drink turns into blue, it can be a reference to Tag, You're It, the liquid that the cashier gave to her and she used to kill the Big Bad Wolf

i never expected the principal to be this good what-

I’m losing my mind trying to listen to all of the song being released at once 😭❤️

Verse 1] Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, fucking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you always squeaky What if I had told your mother Her son was a cruel motherfucker? Ah [Pre-Chorus] It’s not just me, it's everybody who thinks that you're fucking ugly When you come and hurt us just so you can get your money Forced to follow the leader who's being possessed by demons [Chorus] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Fuck our dreams and that’s not right [Post-Chorus] The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? [Verse 2] Complicated, overrated You're fixated and elated By the separation in this place that you've created Fuck all of your rules and guidelines You shouldn’t even be on the sidelines [Pre-Chorus] Can't you see that we're all hurtin'? If you're not teaching, we're not learnin' Excuse me, how much are you earnin'? [Chorus] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Fuck our dreams and that’s not right [Post-Chorus] The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? [Bridge] You don't know the pain that you are causing Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words The more you try to fuck us over We will be there yelling at your front door [Outro] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it’s your way, right? Produced By Keenan (Producer) Written By Melanie Martinez & Keenan (Producer) Release Date September 6, 2019

I’ve been excited about this since the teasers !!

alphabet boy: who are you? the principal: i’m you but stronger ;)

I like how "Oh, it's the principal" sounds like "Oh, where's the principal", symbolising how we unknowingly trust and hope the person who was actually the cause of our troubles to help us.

the prinipal: *fires trans woman* mel: *im about to ruin this man's whole career*

I’ve just realised everyone in the school wears pink or blue but Melanie dyed hers purple which means both . Thank u Melanie for bi people

Principal: fires trans teacher Melanie: *so you have chosen death*

This hits harder than ever now.

Everybody is arguing that this isn’t just about trump and while I’m here realizing how the dark this song really is... Edit: Please don’t be rude

Everyone before: Principal is the most boring one Everyone now: BEST ONE BY FAR

My phone: *Rings* Me: *SNEAKY GREEDY MONEY SEEKING-* Edit: HOLY- 1.1K LIKES- Y'ALL IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY 😭

"You don't know the pain that you are causing, Yeah, you're actions hurt, so do your words, The more you try to fuck us over, We will be there yelling at your front door" - My favourite line! ❤️ This song is amazing, it's like dissing all the principals of this world and I just love it especially the swearing! Melanie Martinez is wonderful 🔥

Principal: fires trans Melanie: ~tells principal~ HASTA LA VISTA BITCH

Principal: *fires trans teacher* Cry baby:*kills him* Me, a transgender man: I’m not crying, you are.

Am i the only one who thought this song would be a bomb even from the snippet?

Melanie is living proof that just because a song is filled with curse words doesn’t mean it’s about nonsense.

The principal: fired a trans Cry baby: kills him Edit: ty for the likes btw didn't mean to offend

that chord progression though. that beat though. that voice though. that songwriting though. you know what, that whole song though. amazing

and everyone said this would be the worst song I-

when this song is making even more sense now

Ahhhhh I’m such a proud Stan

People are missing the point of the song insisting it's about Trump lol. It's definitely alluding to him, but it's not about him, it's about everyone in a position of power who abuses it or leaves the world worse than they left it, selling out and pushing harmful causes at the expense of future generations who will actually have to deal with them, but it's also a double entendre, she's talking about principles as in actual principles; we're losing our principles and need to find something to stand up for, and do what's right. It's about a lot more than one guy and the actual themes of the song deserve so much more appreciation and attention than that angry dementia ridden Cheeto puff.

I MEMORIZED THE WHOLE ALBUM BUT I CANT EVEN REMBER MY BIRTHDAY TF

"Can't u see that we're all hurting, if ur not teaching we're not learning" this song literally reninds me of school

Melanie: *bops shoulders intensely in the film* me: *does the same thing everytime i hear this song*

Every time I listen to Melanie’s song I just *fall deeper and deeper into the fandom*

I WATCHED THE MOVIE WITH 172K PEOPLE IM SO GRATEFUL

"Can't you see that we're all hurting" That hit a bit too hard 😭

I've loved you since the 4th grade with "dollhouse" and now I'm a freshman!! Time flies when you're watching melanie martinez videos😂🌼💠💚Melanie you inspire me so much with my music on my channel and even with my single coming out soon, you've really developed my love for horror, to say the least, and encouraged my growth with creativity. Okay, rant over.🌸💐🌺

i was not expecting this song to be more upbeat, but girl.. it's melanie. she KNOWS what we want 💖💗💓

let me just change what i originally said, have fun being confused lmaooaoa

Lyrics [clean]: Melanie: Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, freaking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you're always squeaky What if I had told your mother Her son was a cruel child-abuser? Ah It's not just me, it's everybody Who thinks that you're really ugly When you come and hurt us Just so you can get your money Forced to follow the leader Who's being possessed by demons I've tried to make to listen But you won't it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Curse our dreams And that's not right The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Complicated, overrated You're fixated and elated By the separation In this place that you've created Curse all of your rules and guidelines You shouldn't even be on the sidelines Can't you see that we're all hurtin'? If you're not teachin', we're not learnin' Excuse me How much are you earnin'? I've tried to make you listen But you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Curse our dreams And that's not right The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh where's the principle? You don't know the pain that you are causing Yeah, your actions hurt So do your words The more you try to win us over We will be there yelling at your front door I've tried to make you listen but you won't, it's your way Right? [end]

Principal: fires trans teacher Crybaby: kills him Everyone liked that

Funny Fact: This song is critically talking about Trump but Melanie masked it to put it onto the film. Who knew? Edit: those comments lmaoooo stream don't call me angel by ariana grande, miley cyrus and lana del rey on sept 13th

I can relate to this song so much of the line *"I've tried to make you listen, but you wont it's your way right?"* because my dad never let's me talk

Fun fact: if you look in the lyric book from the vinyl for this song, you can see that it’s: _The principal, ooh oh_ _Oh, where’s the_ *principle?* _Oh, where’s the_ *principle?* i love how it’s a play on those two words. the principal obvs being the principal of a school, aka a higher-up or authority figure. the principle is like your values or morals. so she’s basically saying: *Authority figure, where are your morals?* which is very accurate for the political state of affairs rn

*_ESTO ES SIMPLEMENTE MAGNÍFICO!!!! ❤️❤️❤️_*

Theme song for the President of my University who shut down the art program because it didn’t “make enough money” and then lied to all our faces as to where our tuition was going

Ok but like- why does this song relate so much to recent events??? 🤔

as a trans man, i stan crybaby for killing the principal.

Nobody: Melanie: let's shove all the cuss words in!!!

I don't know if it's just me but... Now whenever I hear a ringing sound I immediately start singing this in my head.

Teachers at school: "what if I had told your mother?"

One of my favorite numbers in the film. The dance sequence was magical.

that “huh” is so satisfying, as well as the chorus 😳😍😍

I actually thought I wouldn't like this one from the preview but this is actually one of the best bops

i love how at 2:30 there's marching in the back round as if they are marching for their rights which is very interesting. i really love this song! :D

Yesssssssssssss I love this song out of all of them!

Omg I’ve been waiting for so long 😭💗💗🥳

15% of comments:Its not about Donald Trump! 5%: I like how she punished the principle for firing the trans man! 40% of comments: She mentioned a BRAZILIAN MEME!! 40% of comments: Its about Donald TRUMP!

Shes so underrated! She deserves more she’s so good! ❤️

This whole album is amazing💕💕

When this song played during the movie I thought she was saying "the friendship bowl" during the chorus instead of "the principle"

No one: **The class phone rings** Me: *THE PRINCIPAL*

THE PRINCIPAL HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN!

OMG WAITING FOR SO LONG TO HEAR A NEW SONG AKLDHSOWND IM IN LOVE ILL SEE YOU IN NOV MELANIE

Y'all talking about Trump as if this does not fit for every Principal out there

WELL,THATS THE FIRST SONG I JUST LISTENED AND IT IS ALREADY MY FAVORITE

Guys.. When September hits its officially gonna be 2 years since this came out. Time flies fast

DONALD TRUMP MUST BE QUAKING, this song hits him hard “what if I had told your mother Her son was a cruel motherf*cker” damn Melanie you're right

Imagina mano, se no show da Melanie aqui no Brasil, na hora do "FODE" todo mundo grita ao mesmo tempo *FODE!!!* KKKK ia ser muito ícone, já quero. Vou até fazer multirão pra isso acontecer ♡

The snippet didn't do this song the justice it deserved

Yo!! I just realised that in the chorus, shes saying, "youre the princiPAL, wheres the princiPLE" meaning where is the principle of his actions????? Obviously it should be the students, but the real principle is money. The change is so subtle and so meaningful when you notice!!!!!!

Por que em 0:40 tem a Lily Santos gritando F**e?

The meaning of this song and nurses office is deep

Milk & Cookies- Who are you? The Principal- You but stronger. Am i the only person that thinks these two are similar?

*_This is our song to blast while protesting._* R.I.P George Floyd

Aos 0:40 Melanie colocou o FODE da Lily Santos kkkkkkkkkkkk eu tô gritando

00:40 *FODE* brasileiros me digam que ouviram também, tô surtando

I have been waiting. It’s perfect

THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING THE INSTRUMENTAL OML

it’s so interesting about the way she used the homonym between ‘principal’ and ‘principle’

Always melanie Never someone other I love her so much

trans people are just like us #respect trans

This song hits harder now that my first elementary school teacher got fired. He made it hard onto my family, tried to convince my parents I had autisim, didn't really teach me anything past grade 3, and all of this other awful stuff all because he didn't agree with my mom (it's an independent school, and my mom was apart of the board). And now here I am, in grade 8, finding out that he got fired for sleeping with a parent. I hope that school is doing better now.

Matilda:Let's be friends Melanie:Best friends! They're basically the same trash school,trash parents,Most importantly trash principle but at the end they're happy

Brazillian meme on 00:40 “fode” LOL ❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂

I would personally switch places of a bridge and a pre-chorus - that way the song would be way more powerful.

The principal is OUT!!!!

Amo demasiado a Melanie estuve esperando demasiado este album,hasta se podría decir que gracias a sus canciones puedo ser yo mismo... Melanie quiero darte las gracias por la gran pelicula ,me diverti encerio con la pelicula y al escuchar la primera canción Whell on the bus mi piel se estremecio y casi lloro,fue una emoción demasiado maravillosa,conosí gente con mis mismos gustos y compartimos opiniones sobre la pelicula y las canciones,demasiadas gracias por darnos tanto arte...

15% love how she killed the principal for the teacher being trans ✨ 5%its not about trump;-; 40%its about trump omg I hope he sees this >:) 40%lolol there’s a Brazilian meme at 00:40 (so funny so funny)

I'm still listening to it like it's the first time ❤❤

I'm so happy The Principal finally left!

As a trans nonbinary... thanks, Mel. It really does mean a lot.

melanie said this song is about Donald Trump and all I can say is QUEEN

Okay, but anyone else think this song would go perfectly with how KZbin as a platform is treating its creators?

3 things people need to understand about Melanie Martinez. 1.just cause you don’t know everything about her doesn’t mean your not a fan. 2. Her new album is not about Oliver tree. They ended on good terms. 3.don’t hate on her new album just cause you don’t like how she looks.

I FUDGING LOVE YOU MELANIEEE
