HUX | A SPACE MUSICAL

MY SHOT

[HUX]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my empire
I'm young, scrappy, looking higher
And I'm not throwing away my shot

I'mma gonna wipe out the Resistance
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, i'm just so persistent
The problem is I got a lot of brains, and I'm insistin'
I'mma gonna holler just to be heard
With every word I drop knowledge

I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin' to reach my goal, my extensive reach: unimpeachable
I've turned 34, but my mind is bolder
These Starkiller nights getting colder, I shoulder
Ev'ry burden, ev'ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage. I just have a gun to brandish
I want these rebels banished
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark, so let me spell out my name
I am the—

[HUX, DAMERON, PHASMA, MITAKA]
A-R, M-I, T-A, G, E are—we are—meant to be

[HUX]
Am empire that runs independently
Meanwhile, the rebels keep shitting on us endlessly
Essentially, they attack us relentlessly
Then their general turns around, runs a spy network spree
She ain't never gonna let the First Order be
So there will be a revolution in this century
ENTER ME!

[MITAKA, DAMERON, PHASMA]
(He says in parentheses)

[HUX]
Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually you'll see our ascendancy

[HUX and (PHASMA)]
And I am not throwing away my shot (my shot)
I am not throwing away my shot (my shot)
Hey yo, I'm just like my empire
I'm young, scrappy, aimin' higher,
[HUX & PHASMA]
And I'm not throwing away my shot

[HUX, DAMERON, PHASMA, MITAKA]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my empire (republic)
I'm young, scrappy, aimin' higher (and strugglin')
And I'm not throwing away my shot
It's time to take a shot!

DAMERON:
I dream of life without the tyranny
The unrest in the Galaxy will lead to "onarchy"
"Onarchy?" How you say, how you s—Oh, anarchy!
When I fight I make the other side panicky
With my
[HUX, DAMERON, PHASMA, MITAKA]
Shot!

[PHASMA]
Yo, I'm known to Snokes apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm crushin' the rebellion cuz I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of shootin' some plants
I'm gonna take a
[HUX, DAMERON, PHASMA, MITAKA]
Shot!

[MITAKA]
Eh, but we'll never be truly free
Until our supporters have the same rights as you and me
You and I, do or die, wait till I sally in on a "stallion"
With the leading trooper battalion
Have another
[HUX, DAMERON, PHASMA, MITAKA]
Shot!

[KYLO]
Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble, and you double your choices
I'm with you, but the situation is fraught
You've got to be carefully taught:
Plot too much, you're gonna get shot!

[HUX]
Ren, check what we got
Little Mitaka's hard rock like Lancelot
I think your ideas look hot
Phasma, I like you a lot
Let's hatch a plot to take down the rebellion lot
What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot
Poppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of empirical manumission strategists
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is

Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I'll make y'all proud

[PHASMA]
Let's get this guy in front of a crowd!

[COMPANY]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my empire
(republic)
I'm young, scrappy, aimin' higher (and strugglin')
And I'm not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my empire
(republic)
I'm young, scrappy, aimin' higher (and strugglin')
And I'm not throwing away my shot

[PHASMA and (HUX, DAMERON, MITAKA)]
Everybody sing
Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh (Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh)
Hey
Wo-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh)
Wooh!!
Wo-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh)
Sing let 'em hear ya (Yeah)

[MITAKA and (COMPANY)]
Let's go! (Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh)
I said, shout it to the rooftops
(Wo-oh-oh)
Said to the rooftops
(Wo-oh-oh)
Now come on
(Yeah)
Now come on, let's go

[MITAKA]
Rise up
When you're living on your knees, you rise up
Tell your brother that he's got to sign up
Tell your sister that she's got to rise up

[MITAKA & FO and (COMPANY)]
When is this empire gonna rise up
(Whoa, woah)
When is this empire gonna rise up (Woah)
When is this empire gonna rise up (Woah)
When is this empire gonna rise up (Woah)
Rise up

[HUX & KYLO]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it's gonna get me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it coming, do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?

[HUX]
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty

Scratch that
This is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Vader, claimin' our Promised Land

[DAMERON]
And? If they win their independence?
'Zat a guarantee of freedom for their descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless
Cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?

[HUX]
I know the action in the Galaxy is excitin'
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' 'n fightin'
I've been readin' 'n writin'
We need to handle our training situation
Are we an empire of order? What's the order of our empire?

I'm past patiently waitin'! I'm passionately smashin' every expectation
Every action's an act of creation
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow

[HUX & COMPANY]
And I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey, yo, I'm just like my empire (republic)
I'm young, scrappy, aimin' higher (and strugglin')
And I'm not throwin' away my shot

[HUX, PHASMA, MITAKA and (FO)]
We gonna rise up; time to take a shot
(Not thrown' away my shot)
We gonna rise up; time to take a shot
(Not throwin' away my shot)
We gonna (rise up, rise up)

[HUX]
It's time to take a shot

[HUX, PHASMA, MITAKA and (FO)]
(Rise up, rise up)
It's time to take a shot (rise up, rise up)
(Wo-oah) Time to take a shot (rise up)
Take a shot, a shot, a shot, (Oh-Oh, oh)
A-yo, it's time to take a shot (Woah, oh-oh oh)
Time to take a shot (Woah-oh)
And I am (And I am)
Not throwing away my
