World Burn Lyrics
My name is Regina George
And I am a massive deal
I will grind you to sand
Beneath my Louboutin-ed heel
This is what I get for helping
Helping someone lame fit in
Cady Heron, enjoy your temporary win
My name is Regina George
“Regina is a fugly cow.”
Hey Cady, how ya like me now?
I wanna watch the world burn, I got the gasoline
I wanna watch the world burn, and ev'ryone get mean
I wanna watch the world burn, I got the gasoline
I wanna watch the world burn, and ev'ryone get mean
Cady, time to watch your back
Cady, time to turn and cough
Because you took me down
But you didn’t finish me off
My name is Regina George
And in case you’re keeping score
Cady may have won the battle
But I will win the war
For
[ENSEMBLE]
Trang Pak is a grotsky beyotch!
[REGINA]
I brought the gasoline
[ENSEMBLE]
Ms. Norbury's a drug pusher!
[REGINA]
I wanna make the world burn
[ENSEMBLE]
Janis is a space-dyke!
Regina is a fugly cow! Regina is a fugly cow!
[REGINA]
And you can quote this
Woah-oh-oh!
[ENSEMBLE]
Who wrote this? Who wrote this? Who wrote this?
[REGINA]
I wanna watch the world burn
I got the gasoline!
I wanna watch the world burn and
Everyone turn mean
So mean!
[REGINA]
Mean
[ENSEMBLE]
So mean!
[REGINA & ENSEMBLE]
Mean!
[REGINA]
I wanna watch the world burn
[ENSEMBLE]
Who wrote this? Who wrote this?
[REGINA]
I wanna make the world turn
[ENSEMBLE]
Who wrote this? Who wrote this?
[REGINA]
So
Mean!
Who wrote this? Who wrote this? Who wrote this? Who wrote this?
Who wrote this? Mean
Who wrote this? Who could be so
[REGINA]
I wanna watch the world burn!
About
At this point in the show, Regina found out that Cady has been scheming against her and intentionally ruining her life. Note that she is at her lowest, since she lost everything that made her the massive deal she is — her hot body (something she was very proud of and willing to rely on), her boyfriend, her followers and, most importantly, her status and her place as the queen bee and leader of the Plastics. After a long moment of meditation and strident shrieking, Regina decides that she’s not going down without a fight and puts her revenge into effect.
Just like it happens the movie, Regina grabs the infamous Burn Book and, for a brief moment, misguides the audience into believing that she’s ready to let it all out about her former friends — but as it turns out, she adds her own name instead, describes herself as a “fugly cow” and prints large number of copies. She then delivers the notebook to the principal and proceeds to frame Cady, Gretchen and Karen for the authorship of the Burn Book, not only putting them at risk of getting in trouble, but also making the whole student body hate them.
The man confronts the three of them about it, while Regina releases the pages as she throws them around the stage. As the students read the content, they start fighting in a hilarious choreographed sequence and wreak havoc. Chaos took over the school, everyone feels angry and betrayed as their deepest secrets and insecurities are exposed to the whole school… But not Regina.
She has nothing to lose. She just wants to watch the world burn and everyone get mean to each other.
