You Gotta Crush a Kid's Dreams

"You Gotta Crush a Kid's Dreams" is the opening song of Shrugging Destiny. After watching an awful play performance, parents harshly criticize their children to deter them from following any acting dreams.

Bradley's Father
Sometimes
You gotta crush a kid's dreams to watch them fly
You gotta take their wings and rip 'em off
And when they ask you "why?"
You tell them: "You are not good at this
You gotta do something else"
So take that dream you have and put it on a fucking shelf
Bradley (spoken)
Uh, hi dad! What'd you think!
Bradley's Father (spoken)
Bradley?
Bradley (spoken)
Yeah?
Bradley's Father (spoken)
Stop. 
Bradley (spoken)
What? Talking?
Bradley's Father (spoken)
Yes. 
Bradley (spoken)
So you can tell me how great it was?
Bradley's Father
You were bad
Bradley (spoken)
No, what?!
Bradley's Father
Bad doesn't describe what you did
Because bad is a thing that is better than what you did, which was total shit
I don't want you to act anymore
In fact, go home right now
Bradley (spoken)
You drove me...
Bradley's Father
No, you're gonna have to find your own way back
Bradley's Father (spoken)
Hoo, guys, that was hard but I'm glad I did it. Oh, your kids are coming up. 
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
Oh no. 
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Hey, mom!
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
Oh, hi sweetheart. 
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Did you hear my solo?
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
I did.
Unnamed Parent
And it hurt my ears
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Wha..?
Unnamed Parent
Made my ears feel bad
Watching you try and fail so totally bad
It made me really sad
So why don't you stop what you're doing
I wish we could take back this night
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Oh my god. 
Unnamed Parent
If you think that that was okay, then you are definitely not right
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Okay well, just drive me home, alright?
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
Nope, find your own way home. 
Unnamed Child (spoken)
Wait, what?!
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
Oh, you're right, it's so freeing!
Bradley's Father (spoken)
It hurts, but you have to do it, you're going to feel so much better after. 
Football Kids' Father (spoken)
I hope so, 'cause I couldn't feel worse right now. 
Unnamed Parent (spoken)
Here come your football twins. 
Football Kids' Father (spoken)
Oh no. 
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Hey dad. 
Steve (spoken)
It's me, Steve!
Kevin (spoken)
And it's me, Kevin!
Steve (spoken)
I really felt like, I felt like I was emotionally connected to the world and I never have before. Kevin, you were great!
Kevin (spoken)
Steve, you were great. I really felt like we were blossoming out of our shells and realizing new parts of our-
Football Kids' Father (spoken)
Shut up, you two!
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Whaaat?!
Football Kids' Father (spoken)
I got somethin' to tell ya. And I'm gonna tell you in one second. 
Steve(spoken)
What? Oh my God, he's really gearing up! There's steam coming out of his ears!
Football Kids' Father
Well, you should be ashamed
Steve (spoken)
Huh?
Football Kids' Father
'Cause I know I am
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Aw...
Football Kids' Father
When I saw you prancing around that stage 
I wanted to get swallowed by a giant clam 
I am just sick
Steve(spoken)
Huh?!
Football Kids' Father
Sick to my guts
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Not to your guts!
Football Kids' Father
You've gotta quit this nonsense and there's no ifs, ands, or buts
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Whoa!
Football Kids' Father
I can't stand what I just saw
And that other people saw it too
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Uh...
Football Kids' Father
You shouldn't be on stage
You should be in a goddamn zoo
Steve (spoken)
Oh, uh, okay.
Kevin
Dad
Steve
Dad
Kevin
You really hurt our pride
Steve (spoken)
Yeah!
Kevin
But will you please at least
Steven and Kevin
Give us a ride
No!
Steve and Kevin (spoken)
Whoa!
Football Kids' Father
You gotta find your own way home
There's no way I'm gonna put you in my car
And let you roam around in the neighborhood
Bradley's Father
Hoo, didn't that feel good?
Unnamed Parent
Yeah, it felt great!
And don't you feel free
Now that we've crushed their dreams?
Bradley's Father
And most importantly
No matter who we are
Going home, we're gonna have so much
All Parents
Room in the car
Yeah!
