A hilarious, R-rated comedic song from the musical 'NOT ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL', where two male leads attempt to navigate the perils of addressing serious social issues in their high school musical. The song combines sharp wit, humor, and absurdity to discuss topics they dare not touch, bringing to light the ridiculousness of censorship in the most over-the-top way possible.
(Verse 1)
(Lead 1)
Hey, buddy, we’ve got a big choice to make,
Do we tackle social issues or bake a fake cake?
(Lead 2)
A tale of heartbreak or a musical quake,
How 'bout our friend, good ol' abortion, for goodness' sake?
(Chorus)
(Lead 1 & 2)
We can’t sing about that,
It’ll make the church chat,
With their holy hats,
We’d be done like that!
(Verse 2)
(Lead 1)
What about rape? It’s a gross marketplace,
Filled with grimy faces in a twisted chase.
(Lead 2)
Oh no, no way! Let’s keep that at bay,
We’d be run out of town, and that’s not okay!
(Chorus)
(Lead 1 & 2)
We can’t sing about that,
It’s a schoolyard spat,
Wouldn’t want to get flat,
Or anyone mad!
(Bridge)
(Lead 1)
Let’s tackle AIDS, oh wait, it fades,
With every bold lyric, we’re digging our graves.
(Lead 2)
Just a little pop of fun in the sun,
But not a message that leaves folks on the run!
(Chorus)
(Lead 1 & 2)
We can’t sing about that,
No respect for tit-for-tat,
Don’t give us the filth,
Just humor, that’s the deal, and that!
(Verse 3)
(Lead 1)
So what’s next on the chopping block of fate?
(Lead 2)
How ‘bout high school drama? A light-hearted state?
(Lead 1)
Yeah, we’ll mix in some love, maybe a dance,
But steer clear of that scene, you know, the one that’s intense!
(Chorus)
(Lead 1 & 2)
We can’t sing about that,
Make it light as a bat,
No one needs a spat,
Just let ’em laugh at that!
(Outro)
(Lead 1)
So here we are, with a laugh and a cheer,
(Lead 2)
We’ll write a musical, with no need to fear!
(Lead 1 & 2)
Just some silly songs, about sock hops and slaps,
As we dodge the real issues, it’s all just mishaps!

Musical theatre Broadway comedy song called “Social Issues" - a funny song in the style of Mary Poppins, sung by the 2 male leads in a hilarious R-Rated comedy called NOT ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. The 2 guys are trying to write a high school musical about an important social issue. They decide that 3 topics they cannot do are abortion, rape, and AIDS. They repeatedly bring those up and talk about why they can’t be explored. The lyrics should be shocking and offensive and racist with lots of vulgar phrases and expletives. It is not about real apples. It has lots of internal perfect rhymes. It should have amazing jokes but make sense.
