Daddy, are you proud?
Would I make you cry?
Shame you never told me that while you were still alive
Look how far I've come
Look how close I am
If you could see me now
What would Daddy say?
You'd probably try to free the bear and let him get away
Well, Daddy, I'm afraid there's been a change of plan
I followed in your footsteps to the place they stopped
Stepped over the line you never dared to cross
You're about to find tonight will be the night that I'm
Everything you never were
Everything you couldn't be
Everything that I deserve
Everything I've earned
And all the things you took from me
Everything you could have had
If you weren't such an amateur
Now I'm everything
Everything you never were
Why are all these animals so still?
It's my secret collection
They're my pretty little dead things
But there's one piece missing
You
Me?
I told you you were going to get absolutely starved
But I thought we were coming to meet the explorer
Your beloved explorer is dead
Dead? He can't be
You lied to me?
Grant, secure the bear
It's time to put the record straight once and for all
This is the Geographers Guild
Are you a members?
I'm calling with a brand new discovery
We need a new discovery to put us back on the map
Tell me more
Come to the Natural History Museum tonight
And all will be revealed
A members will be delighted
We'll be there
My dear father, the useless explorer
Bringing the family shame
Merely fueling the snobbery
Making a mockery of the family name
But these bears, they're intelligent and civilized
Civilized? Ha!
Do they play cricket? Drink tea?
Tell us their location and we'll send a real explorer to fetch one
Never
Then you are hereby struck out of the Geographers Guild
Members, turn your backs
But I will rewrite history
That's all daddy is to me
Creatures far and wide
Will learn it's best to hide
On the day they find that they are face to face
With everything you never were
Everything you couldn't be
Everything that I deserve
Everything I've earned
And all the things you took from me
When I'm through tonight
Every single geographer
Will envy me
And their jealousy
Will be the reason they remember me
As everything
Everything you never were
