I just had a really scary dream Involving monsters, ghouls and the game Yahtzee But the worst part of that scary dream I could not be all I was meant to be. I’m feeling it now, I’m feeling it now, today’s the day I make myself anew I know the way to go cause I’m the one they’re looking for-ward to and I see future success I just had a really epic dream Involving scuba, cheetahs and my girlfriend Alli And the best part of that epic dream My best friend was right next to me Roman my man, you’ve got a chance to change our lives are looking up and we are flying higher everyday, not a care in the whole wide world is at our feet and we are Taking a bite out of our lives, seize the day and night we fight the fight and become heroes conquering our enemies, they will not stand against our destiny, no! [Guitar Solo] Roman my man, you’ve got a chance to change Our lives are looking up and we are flying higher everyday, not a care in the whole wide world is at our feet and we are Taking a chance and making plans to be all We can be everything in our Dreams are taking hold and growing we won’t Waste a day waiting, no, not on THIS CON-QUEST

He’s a silly boy With a silly life Thinking he had a chance Just look at his face Just look at his jaw Just look at his posture Just look at his hair Just look at his clothes Just look at this picture You’ve got to know you’re nothing special Coming late without a call It’s very clear here, Roman that you have dropped the ball For this prestigious company we need it all You son have got to see that You’re not what we’re looking for Listen up, open your fool ears Listen boy this isn’t a game Your childish ways will not get You very far in life I can’t believe you thought that you Even had a chance You child have got to see that You’re not what we’re looking for You come late and think that you can shine You thought you were gonna do just fine I don’t know why you walked through that door But you aren’t what we are looking for Just look at your shoes Just look at your tie Just look at your resume Just look at your watch Just look at your shirt Just look at your Facebook Don’t you know your social life will Always affect your work We need adults in this place Not bumbling toddlers now I don’t believe that you could Even run your own life You son have got to see that You’re not what we’re looking for You come late and think that you can shine I think you will sully what is mine I don’t know why you walked through that door But you aren’t what we are looking for You’re a fool and just a silly child You have nothing that is worth my while I doubt you will ever find a job As you leave watch out for the door knob Just look at yourself Just look at yourself Just look at yourself Just look at yourself Just look at yourself Just look at yourself You’re a silly boy With a silly life Thinking you had a chance You come late and think that you can shine Run back to the unemployment line You’re a silly boy With a silly life Thinking you had a chance I doubt you will ever find a job As you leave watch out for the door knob

My Chance 03:32
I’ve been having a really rough time All my well-laid plans have fallen through But now I see what looks to me like my chance A chance is all I need And I’m looking forward to everything I know I can win, I can be the King No more dumpster diving just to eat I’m gonna knock ‘em right out of their seats This is my chance with Marvel My chance to be a marvel See me shine, see me glow With Marvel My life is out to change This contest is my opportunity ’Cause now I have a perfect path Ahead of me I am ready I'm seizing each and every opportunity My heart is beating, telling me Everything is looking up today I finally found the way My chance with Marvel Wouldn’t it be a marvel To be a part of such a thing As Marvel Who knew something silly as cosplay Could make me happy and still pay I can see my future now My destiny is finally found My chance with Marvel My chance with Marvel This could be everything With Marvel

They told me I’d never find a job But I’m here Fuck you! I’ve got cash from the mob! I told you that you could follow your dreams Now look at us Our pockets bursting at the seams We took a chance Chasing after this Marvel-ous chance Though we almost died at the end of a lance We’re here now to sing and dance We finally found the way The way Paved With cold hard cash Joy is flowing Confidence growing All is going Our way Now And my best friend Will be there every step of the way Basking in the sweet glow Of our victory I believe Nothing here can go wrong Success is surely Guaranteed Every story Has it’s glory Shortly before Shit goes wrong “Wait, what?” [Overlapping:] My chance with Marvel It’s what the con’s about Cosplay!

Sew 02:18
SEW Now we’ve got the dough SEW And we’re making clothes SEW All the ladies know SEW That we’ve got the flow, now Some silly little boys with their cue ball chins Thinking only ladies can thread and pin Suffer through holes in their dirty socks They just don’t know that sewing ROCKS! But me, Roman, I’m big and strong And my spool thread is thick and long It makes tight stitches for these neat britches That I’m making with all my riches Spitting rapid fire beats as I sew down these sheets, listen to the sexy verse I preach I don’t need a pattern when I sew, I just know, now see if you can follow my cross-stitched flow Cutting and snipping the fabric is ripping but that’s okay sew it together and make it all better, yeah that’s the way Foot’s pedaling, meddling with the gelding of the thread, fabric getting pierced by the needle, just the head SEW Now we’ve got the dough SEW And we’re making clothes SEW All the bros know SEW That we’ve got the flow, now Rolling in cash from our business deal Making tight threads with our sewing wheel Pulling together a winning piece Eating food, paying off the lease Making the vision come together With lace, velvet, cotton, and leather Gonna gussy up for the cosplay duel Gonna win big, first place, we rule! Over and under, we’re tearing asunder, frustration, inward and outward, causing fabric mutilation Sewing is to Max like music is to Bose, my brand new combination keepin the judges on their toes Sewing is a unisex activity, so fuck your gender normativity Breaking the mold, these partners of old, excuse me folk for being so bold SEW Now we’ve got the dough SEW And we’re making clothes SEW The audience knows SEW That we’ve got the flow SEW We’re living big SEW Take another swig SEW We’re making it rain SEW All aboard the swag train SEW All the ladies now! SEW All the fellas now! SEW Non-binary! SEW That’s how we do

Crossroads 02:05
Why is it That as soon as I get the chance of my life Things change And now I’m standing on the edge of a knife I did exactly what I had to do Now I have to choose between my destiny and saving you Max and Alli My friends to the end Against the chance for my life to begin On one side lies love But what has that done for me On the other lies fate But what is destiny And I find that Half of what I need is down both paths I can’t have both I don’t know what to do I can’t see Into the future But I have to decide now Can I walk into Marvel Knowing who I left behind Can I follow after Max Knowing what I’m giving up I’m torn between two visions And one impossible decision [Vocal Solo]
10.
Together, you and I Are flying really high Hand in hand we sail the skies Though we’re tied to this chair The feeling of your hair Sends me into memories of us Back when we first met When we got our feet wet In the rivers of this awesome love From across the cafe room Your bright eyes seemed to zoom Past my eyes and deep into my soul You bumbled into me Awkward as could be You chatted me up, quite adorably You could say I was hooked On your wits and looks I wondered if you could be right for me And just look at us now The enemies we’re facing down We’re ready to conquer the galaxy Throw caution to the wind And with your precious grin We’ll get through thick and thin here together My endless love for you Gives me the strength to Look at you and see a happy ending
11.
Cosplay We have worked so very hard Cosplay Now we show off The things we’ve done For Stan Lee Hoping that he likes it and will give us some money Cosplay This is what the Con’s about Cosplay Follow your heart You can’t go wrong When you can be Anything you wanted and all that you can conceive Cosplay Clipping, cutting, sewing, molding Cosplay Changing form and growing wings And flying to the top Knowing there is nothing that can ever make you stop Cosplay Flowing gowns and flowered crowns Cosplay We have it all! It is all here! And there is us When we’re all together you have people you can trust
12.
Showdown 02:28
You don’t understand our power We will kill you in this hour Poor Ginny will not have died in vain There is just one thing we need Give it to us or you’ll bleed Give us Roman you won’t have to fight You, have attacked, and now you’re gonna meet your doom You, think that we, are afraid and will back down We’re, gonna go, all the way right now That, is what, your mama said last night when I was having sex with her! her! her! We are the heroes of this con We are the cons, we’ll take you on GIVE US ROMAN GO FUCK YOURSELF This is the last chance that you have Surrender now or face our wrath
13.
Finale 03:10
Food and shelter You need more than that Unless you want to swelter In the heat Of a life void of opportunity To be the best you that you could ever be Me and my cousin, we live for each other. I love that boy just like he’s my brother. Love and trust, one another, I didn’t turn him in when I was under cover You’re all my friends, I love you all! Let’s celebrate my victory with a bar crawl! Fuck you all! You’ll rue the day! Don’t think this ends just ‘cause they’re putting me away! The bonds between us Holding us together They will see you through Any kind of weather Love comes in many forms And out of it our dreams are born Friends, lovers, family, things It is true that love gives you wings We kicked their ass and we made up. I’m telling you babe that life’s not so rough. We’re living the life, me and my girl. I’m ready for the future with my beautiful pearl. The choices I’ve made, led me here, I’ll never again succumb to fear My life begins anew each day. Facing every challenge that’s thrown my way Roman you just got your dream job And you’ll be working with, a genius Yo my name is Stan Lee and I’m here to say, To you motherfuckers that I saved the day I’ve become Just what I’ve always dreamed It worked out Just so fantastically Today was the day we took a chance to change our Lives are looking up and we are flying Higher everyday not a care in the Whole wide world is at our feet and we are Winners leading this Con-Quest!
