Come on, grab [E] some ambrosia and let the nectar flow.
of their plate into the fire?
all-powerful.
[E] things couldn't be worse when your parents run the universe.
Oh, things couldn't be worse when your pulse runs the universe.
My dad is Hermes, he messengers [A] things.
I'd wait by the phone, but the phone never [Gb] rings.
[A] house.

[E] things couldn't be worse when your parents run the universe.

Come on, grab [E] some ambrosia and let the nectar flow.
Why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire?
Is the food here really that bad?
Offering to the gods.
It's not enough that they're omnipotent and all-powerful.
They need to feel appreciated.
To the gods!
To the [A] gods!
Oh, [E] things couldn't be worse when your parents run the universe.
Oh, things couldn't be worse when your pulse runs the universe.
My dad is Hermes, he messengers [A] things.
You'll know [E] his sign by his shoes with those rings.
I'd wait by the phone, but the phone never [Gb] rings.
Oh, no!
I have a [A] house.
When your dad's a god, life can be tough.
I met the guy once, [E] and once was enough.
Oh, I hear that.
Anna Beth!
My [A] mom's Athena, she's smart and she's [G] wise.
[D] She's sworn off gluten and [A] she's sworn off guys.
But if she came to camp, it'd be a surprise.
[E] Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, and my stepmom, she hates me and my [G] dad works all day.
So I left [A] Virginia and I ran [D] away.
Wait, is that true?
Everybody!
Oh, things [A] couldn't be worse when your parents run the [D] universe.
Oh, [A] things couldn't [G] be worse when your pulse runs the [D] universe.
Alright, who's next?
Oh, okay, let me see.
[G] My mom's Demeter, [D] goddess of grain.
She gets [A] excited when it starts to rain.
But planting and planting and [Bm] planting's a pain. [E] Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Thanks for their [D] 16th birthday, my [G] friend.
I got a [A] fern in some dumb [D] mason jar.
Ha ha ha ha!
[E] Ooh, my turn!
I'm the child of Pan, god of the wild.
For those who love nature, they're often [A] beguiled.
He's not really my dad, but I'm sort of his child.
[Gb] Oh, no!
Oh, no!
He went for a hike to explore [A] new frontiers,
and no one has [B] seen him for thousands of years.
[E] Oh, things couldn't be worse when your parents run the universe.
Oh, things [Dbm] couldn't be worse when your [B] pulse runs the [E] universe.
Chiron, who's your dad?
Oh, well, my father is Cronus.
[A] _ Remember [E] my lecture?
He ate his children.
_ _ [N] Chiron wins!
Yeah!
Yeah, his dad's definitely the worst.
How about you, Selena?
_ The goddess [E] of my mom's Aphrodite.
She tries to be a woman, but mainly she's flighty.
I'll bring home a boy, and she's there in her [Gb] nightie.
Oh, no!
It's so embarrassing, guys!
[A] I try to seek help from even the fates.
But she steals my mascara and [E] all of my braids.
All [F] right, Percy, it's your turn.
Yeah, come on, Percy!
If I try to sing, it'll probably [Bb] cause an avalanche.
Oh, we're all friends here.
Come on, give it a shot.
Okay.
Um_
My [F] mom was named Sally.
She loved scary movies
and food that was blue and_
He's doing it wrong.
Yeah, who's your godly parent?
Oh, I don't know.
It's all [Bb] right.
A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent.
Just give it a try.
_ So my dad [F] is some god.
[C] That's great, [F] I guess.
Did he not want me or not want the stress?
[Bb] Too bad he's [F] the worst.
And my life [Dm] is a mess.
[G] Oh, no.
Oh, yeah, Percy!
I hope he shows me [Bb] then a trace.
Cause I've got some choice words to [F] throw in his face.
Yeah, Percy, that's what I'm talking about.
Oh, things couldn't [Bb] be worse
when your [F] parents run the universe.
Oh, things couldn't be worse.
But I don't [Bb] care where our parents may [C] be
as long as you are here with [F] me.
We don't care where [Bb] our parents may be
[C] as long as you [Dm] are here with me.
As long as you are [F] here with me!
