Song: Crabs in a Bucket

In this song, Sarah is convincing to George to come with her to the city, once she leaves for university. Sarah compares the town and the people to a bucket of crabs, all desperate to leave but pulling each other down as soon as one is near to an escape. Later in the production, George uses the same ideology of Crabs in a Bucket to get people to bet on proposition events in the town, as well as to convince the townsfolk to band together to fight off the elite.

Lyrics:

Aren’t you sick of losing every single bet you’ve ever made?

The problem is you bet it on yourself.

And aren’t you bored of losing every single game you’ve ever played?

Don't you know we could bet it on some one else?

Why d'you not drum up my come up

Trying to trip me as I run up

I always knew that’s what was up

Cause damn I feel the same

I hope you never rise,

I pray each day for your demise

If anyone gets out alive

You best believe it’s me 

I hate to break it, but you were made for a town like this.

And I’m not quite sure why you’d wanna bring me down like this.

If one of us is gonna break free,

Well we both know that person is me .

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go (high)

Did your grandfather ever tell you the tale of Herostratus?

A man with ambition, to him recognition all that mattered.

He tried every day a new plan not to be forgotten,

And failed so he decided his gains had to be ill-gotten.

Stuck at the precipice,

not sure if he was meant for this,

he sought the tomb of Artemis,

and struck it with a flame.

The temple set alight,

the flames grew high into the night,

his face a picture of delight,

he knew they’d know his name .

Don’t be that man, that’s not my intention,

I’m merely suggesting that you ask the wrong question.

It shouldn’t be where will you go,

it’s why on earth would you stay.

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go (high)

Why d'you not drum up my come up

Trying to trip me as I run up

I always knew that’s what was up

Cause damn I feel the same

I feel like I am losing the will to live

Lost every shit I had to give 

Not sure who my battles with

But it isn't you.  

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go

I feel like a c-rab in a bucket

You’d rather see me fuck it up

I saw my shot and took it, but

Why won’t you let me go (high)
