Killer Instinct

This comedic number from the 2012 Broadway musical "Bring It On" (based on the 2000 film of the same name) begins with a short solo recitative, followed with the rest of the choir singing the 'virtues' of having a strong competitive nature in order to get what you want in life.

Dear God up in heaven, a prayer for Campbell
Once she was my hero, now she's a disgrace
I'm here on top and she's less than zero,
Dragging me down to save face
She always worked hard, she was trusting and fair
And Lord, that's the crux of her problem right there

You need that killer instinct to give you the nerve
To grab everything you want in life but may not deserve
Like if some girl's in your way there's only one thing to do
You blackmail your mother who sits on the school board
To get Campbell transferred and ripped from the life that she knew

And your dreams come true,
And your dreams come true,
And your dreams come true,
And your dreams come true, oh, oh

It takes that killer instinct, that killer desire
Are you the little ant or do you set the ants on fire
And if there's two girls in line to lead the team before you
You hack the school system and change Skyler's grade from a D to an F then
You hire some sick guy to lick Kyler's toothbrush so
She contracts mono now no one is left to be Captain so they turn to you
And your dreams come true

Do I sound awful?
What have I become?
Who's that girl in the mirror I see?
Some backstabbing wack-job I'd run screaming from?
Oh God, I just love being me!
Wouldn't all of you kill to be me?

You need that killer instinct, since time first began,
From Genghis Khan to Bristol Palin you need a killer plan
You need to reach the top if it's the last thing you do
I'm the girl to beat, the high school queen
Seniors kiss my ass and I'm just 15
And soon the world will know her name
I'm raisin' hell, and I'm a felon in a 4 foot frame
I just use my killer instinct and my dreams come true
My killer instinct!
