ACT 2 SCENE 3: Song "Settle the Score"

20 6 3
                                    

(This is a brand new song written for the musical exclusively for WATTPAD. You may be the first person to hear it. I had recorded another song for the two female characters to sing at this point but it was too syrupy. I think this song is a better fit. Jamillah Ross does the voices of both Martha and Minna. There was no time to make a special video but I've added some photos from the play on the Youtube video. Enjoy!)

MARTHA

You are my sister and you are my blood. I will not turn my back on you. My anger is on THEM!

(SHE POINTS HER FINGER ACCUSINGLY AT SIGMUND AND CARL)

I am so enraged at both of you. At all of you... you... MEN!

MUSIC: SETTLE THE SCORE

MARTHA

A LIFE SO BORING - DEVOTED TO HIS SNORING

DEVOTED TO A CITY FULL OF MEN WHO ONLY NOW AND THEN DO
