I got too many maths I got too many maths How's a filly supposed to play when you got so many maths? Oooh-Hoooo. What's a pony to do? I'm begging you Cheerilee, baby, please relieve these homework blues. Applebloom and Scoots Sweetie Belle and me Got to go a-questin' To find our destiny But readin's only paper And your history is bones Stuck staring out my window Doing homework all alone Ooh-Ooooh. Cheerilee! Take away my homework blues Science is a shackle Essays are a cage Thrust on us by grown-ups All because our age Age is just a number I count 7, 3, 13. Don't nopony believe me I got all the maths I need. Woo-Hoo. Cheerilee! Relieve my homework blues! I got those homework blues. Mmhmm. Cheerilee. The homework blues. I can't spell "dragonequus." You got me on that, Miss Cheerilee, but answer me this: when am I ever going to need to know how? Seriously has that ever been - has that piece of information ever been useful to you at all except when teaching me how to spell "dragonequus"?

I was small I was weak It wasn't by my preference When I turned the other cheek Then I saw What Fluttershy could do And I knew in my heart That I could face my dragons too, Gonna stand up tall No, I won't back down Got my four hooves Planted right here on the ground I'm not a fighter That's plain to see You wanna hurt my friends, You're gonna have get through me. Now I'm a bit like Twilight I sweat the little things But I opened up my heart And let friendship be my wings Cause of that spark Cause of that feel I know that magic is real. I used to wonder What friendship could be Then you came into my life And shared its magic with me Gonna rainboom into glory I will gallop 'gainst the wind I will charge the gates of Tartarus To be there for a friend Cause if you haven't got your friendships You ain't got nothing at all Nopony to catch you when you fall. Gotta stand up strong No, I won't back down I've planted all four hooves Right here on the ground Have no regrets When I retire Knowing friendship Was my Courage and my Fire. [2x]: Gotta stand up tall. No, I won't back down I've planted all four hooves Right here on the ground Have no regrets When I retire Knowing friendship Was my Courage and my Fire. They say that Equestria Is a long, long way off But that perfect kindgom Is right here in our hearts Cause when you're generous in spirit When you're loyal kind and true When you giggle at the ghosty Then Equestria is you FINALE Equestria's you, Equestria's you Yeah, Equestria's you, [etc...]

SPROCKET: I heard it stated that the show is for kids But the township of Ponyville's been infected with madness. From pony to pony to pony it's all the same I'm telling you They're all out of their brain. Take Fluttershy whose prevelant element is to be kind. Underneath her wavy mane She's containing a pained mind Then she trains the pain to bottle all up inside Until she goes insane and triggers off like a landmine. A timebomb! My rhymes are filling the page And there ain't enough room to document all the flutterrage. Nopony's gonna help you if you step to her friends Whether dragon or cockatrice you'll meet similar ends But friends ain't even safe when Mr. Hyde is in town Only schmeckles step to Jeckyll, Fluttershy cuts `em all down. Bitter at the critters in the garden above me, Even if they get the jitters, "You are going to love me." Damn. If I was a garden creature all I could say would be "Yes, Ma'am" There ain't no protection from the punch of her fury And without affection she becomes the judge and the jury Now there ain't no way an animal can hide or can run 'Cause she'll rage right in the court before the Queen of the Sun! Fluttershy don't give a buck. The fact that she don't room with Screw Loose is a matter of luck But they had better act soon or y'all be coming up dead Prey don't stay that way what's it's tasted the predatorial lifestyle that be driving her up out of her head An institutional solution gives her much needed street cred'. It seems theatrical but psychiatrical meds - An intervention thus preventing her from splashing the walls red. For your own safety please don't ignore what I said If nothing else believe me just stay out of her shed! CHORUS Twilight says "All the ponies in this town are crazy." Twilight Sparkle may be right. Twilight says "All the ponies in this town are crazy." -Crazy? -Crazy -Crazy Twilight Sparkle... Likes books. MC FLOWNY: The Party Planner, with an eidetic mind Remembers every single birthday, each and every time. And everytime, can tell you what the days are remaining. And when your number's coming up, she's the first in line waiting. The Pink Bodied Equestrian got Balloons on ther side. The Cotton Candy mane, with the wide CERULEAN eyes. All the sweetest cakes and desserts got nowhere to hide. Find your yourself without a babysitter? Call Pinkie pie. The Laugh Element, Master of Smiles - Chuckle Development. Fourth wall breaking, and making physics irrelevent. The way i'm tellin it, ain't no reason you shouldn't meet her... But, you break a Pinkie Promise? And honestly? Couldn't beat her. Try to run, make an excuse, or vanish into vapor Cause the promise that you broke makes it certain you can't escape her. But the madness she possesses goes deeper than broken promises The depths we'll have to go will be darker and far beyond the mysts What I speak of's the one they call Pinkamena. Gray tint, straight hair, just pray you never meet her. Meaner than the most deviant beings you've ever seen. Pinkamena is the Nightmare if Pinkie Pie is the Dream. Don't accept an invitation, and flatly lie in her face. Watch her face drain of color, her eyes stare into space. And you find as friend, you have suddenly been replaced. By a bag of flour, or some rocks stacked in a vase. That is just a taste, to the terror that she can make. Have you ever read the fan-based fiction called Cupcakes? Yeah. Demented twisted and bent, vindictive misfit and spent her time dismembering Dash into ingredients. Immediate evacuation of the facility When Pinkamena Diane Pie is in the building. And I got a feeling after the babysitting she'd been through. Pumpkin and Pound Baby Cakes is on the Menu. CHORUS SPROCKET: Twilight, you ain't exactly one who should talk You could lose your marbles over blackboard and chalk Your ambitions are fine till they come crumbling down Then in sedition you rise against the good of the whole town We all admire your scholastical strengths - fantastical lengths you take refining practical brains But you know how you can tell that you been missing the point? When you unleash more chaos than when Discord ran the joint! Even Derpy set to bring on the pain And rain down the wrath of agression unrestrained Over a doll - now that's what I call insane Although I must admit I really really like her mane. It's tragic, the element of magic is crackin' Town's manic, load up the paddywagon. From Manehattan the toughest streets in the world And there ain't nothing scarier than hearing "Hello Girls" MC FLOWNY: That wasn't scary, Twilight's under mad stress. SPROCKET: Well, your cupcake story was a Fictional Fan Press. MC FLOWNY: And what, Fluttershy's shed is something Hasbro thought up? SPROCKET: Well, um..sorta. Not exactly, You see...shut up! Alright, so the ponies ain't as mad as they seem MC FLOWNY: And that's because they always dream of being nobler beings. What holds you together as your world is falling apart? SPROCKET: The magic of friendship living up in your heart. MC FLOWNY: So even though they get a little crazy up in a bind. SPROCKET: Their friendship magically untangles it every time. MC FLOWNY: So in otherwords, anyone can lose it just a little. SPROCKET: As long as they have friends, it pull's em back in the middle. MC FLOWNY: It'll be a mess if Ponies had to do it all alone. SPROCKET: Which is the moral of these stories to Bronies out on their own. Just remember we're together when facing all of these menaces. SPROCKET & FLOWNY: 'Cause friends help friends FINISH UP each others' SENTENCES." CHORUS/FINALE The cure to insanity doesn't require a prescription 'Cause the cure to insanity is friendship. Word! Scientists suspect that friendship is made out of magic. credits

Twas so much simpler at the start Turning all that chaos into stone But it all just fell apart The moment that our flanks touched the throne You were so beloved I was so bemused The life that we had known Was gone so soon The fillies laughed and played Under your sunny days Whilst everypony slept under the Moon. We had too much time to think But hatred only rots when you're alone I know now that love is the missing link Betwixt a heart of gold and hearts of stone Sure, we played our part We also paid our debt. 12,000 months spent in the gloom Can't you see we've changed? Please don't run away And leave us all alone under the Moon. We used to think... "What good are second chances anyway When you're still just second place?" But at this point we'd be satisfied If they would only stay Rather than cringe from our voice And hide from our face You're not justified! You all are just afraid As if we'd ever dreamed Of gobbling you! We didn't crave your fear, Just to be held dear And celebrate the night Under the Moon. Under the Moon.

Blessed bodies of the Heavens Sun and Moon of greatest light Bathe us in your warm embraces Shield us with your peerless might Help us to stand firm as mountains Doing right and shunning wrong May we find our strength in friendship Unite our herd as one group strong. Kindness save our herd from sorrow Laughter lift us through the day Honesty shall purge our anger Generous we'll be in our ways Loyal to our roots remain us Day by day the magic swells. Love and tolerance shall lead us O'er the seas and hills and dells. In brotherhood we stand together In sisterhood may we find grace The Sun and Moon shall ever guide our Never ending pony race! Why should we fear threats of discord Standing now all here as one? We shall find our strength in friendship Herd unite as one group strong

CELESTIA: I'd say I wanna be ya But ain't nopony ever gonna see ya I be up here You whinin' and pinin' up in the rear. You ain't exciting, GIrl, you're never shown. Who you think the ponies be writin' In every episode? They call me a troll Call me a creep But everythin' that you do Puts all the ponies to sleep. This rap is pointless, Our rhymes don't put shit to the test. You done said it yourself, "Equestria always loved you best!" I be runnin' this shit, I knocked you outta da box. What's Luna famous for? Wearing socks? Bitch be runnin' in tears from every one of my mocks Banish yo' ass for years so you can bring me some moon rocks. I'm Best Princess LUNA: Yo yo I'm comin' up mean, Straight outta my Moon Hell Take a look at my color scheme Not a drop of pastel My rap'll kick your perineum I'll make yo' bitch ass mine Cause I had a whole millenium To practice my dope rhymes. I'm spittin' gangsta hate, You just jokin' and ventin' New Lunar Republic, bitch! Representin' The time has come the statues gonna crumble and fall And now it's Luna's turn to step on up and be tall. You couldn't ever conquer me With your whole armory You never beat me without elementals of harmony I'm riding it high on the fan art scene You get treated like a princess but to them, I'm a queen. Don't have to stoop so low To make the point that you stink Cause even Hasbro come to know That I ain't never been pink. I'm Best Princess.
