Lyrics
Wake up in the morning
And it’s reaping day
A glare from Prim’s cat Buttercup
Sends me on my way
Go to meet Gale
In our spot in the woods
(If the Peacekeepers caught us out here,
We’d be dead for good)
(Good)
But that doesn’t matter
On reaping day
No one’s out to arrest us
Just send us on our way
Put us on a train
And ship us to the land of death
To count our last remaining breaths
Yes, nothing’s out to get us
Except for reaping day
Talk about the Capitol
And how it’s just not fair
How we should not be dying
But no one really cares
It’s just Gale and I
In our spot in the woods
(I want to end the Hunger Games
But know I never could)
(Could)
But that doesn’t matter
On reaping day
No one’s out to arrest us
Just send us on our way
Put us on a train
And ship us to the land of death
To count our last remaining breaths
Yes, nothing’s out to get us
Except for reaping day
I don’t know
How to change it
There’s no way
To rearrange it
So I change myself
And do my hair
(Like the Capitol cares
'Bout the blue dress I wear)
Cause it doesn’t matter
On reaping day
They try to take my sister
But I quickly shout, “No way!”
So put me on a train
And ship me to the land of death
Where I’ll cherish each last breath
When they’re all out to get me
After reaping day
After reaping day
