ALMOST OR IS 5 YEARS SINCE CRYBABY I CANNOT MELANIE YOU HAVE ME OUT OF MY SEAT SCHOOL TMR IS GONNA BE ALL BOUT YOU

my fingers have never moved so fast to click on these

I don't know if everyone noticed but, when the Principal's drink turns into blue, it can be a reference to Tag, You're It, the liquid that the cashier gave to her and she used to kill the Big Bad Wolf

My phone: *Rings* Me: *SNEAKY GREEDY MONEY SEEKING-* Edit: HOLY- 1.1K LIKES- Y'ALL IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY 😭

i never expected the principal to be this good what-

I’m losing my mind trying to listen to all of the song being released at once 😭❤️

Principal: fires trans teacher Melanie: *so you have chosen death*

the prinipal: *fires trans woman* mel: *im about to ruin this man's whole career*

Melanie's voice is like eating puddin, just happiness.

Police: *Who killed the principal?* Them: *It was actually a group project.*

Teachers at school: "what if I had told your mother?"

Melanie is living proof that just because a song is filled with curse words doesn’t mean it’s about nonsense.

I’ve been excited about this since the teasers !!

alphabet boy: who are you? the principal: i’m you but stronger ;)

"Can't you see that we're all hurting" That hit a bit too hard 😭

Wheels on the bus ~ Kindergarden Class fight ~ 1st grade Principle ~ 2nd grade Show and tell ~ 3rd grade Nurses office ~ 4th grade Drama club ~ 5th grade Strawberry shortcake ~ 6th grade Lunchbox friends ~ 7th grade Orange juice ~ 8th grade Detention ~ 9th grade Teacher's pet ~ 10th grade High school sweethearts ~ 11th grade Recess ~ 12th grade

Me: I hate our principle because- Melanie: *sings the Principle* Me: took the words outta my mouth

I like how "Oh, it's the principal" sounds like "Oh, where's the principal", symbolising how we unknowingly trust and hope the person who was actually the cause of our troubles to help us.

"You don't know the pain that you are causing, Yeah, you're actions hurt, so do your words, The more you try to fuck us over, We will be there yelling at your front door" - My favourite line! ❤️ This song is amazing, it's like dissing all the principals of this world and I just love it especially the swearing! Melanie Martinez is wonderful 🔥

Verse 1] Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, fucking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you always squeaky What if I had told your mother Her son was a cruel motherfucker? Ah [Pre-Chorus] It’s not just me, it's everybody who thinks that you're fucking ugly When you come and hurt us just so you can get your money Forced to follow the leader who's being possessed by demons [Chorus] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Fuck our dreams and that’s not right [Post-Chorus] The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? [Verse 2] Complicated, overrated You're fixated and elated By the separation in this place that you've created Fuck all of your rules and guidelines You shouldn’t even be on the sidelines [Pre-Chorus] Can't you see that we're all hurtin'? If you're not teaching, we're not learnin' Excuse me, how much are you earnin'? [Chorus] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Fuck our dreams and that’s not right [Post-Chorus] The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? [Bridge] You don't know the pain that you are causing Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words The more you try to fuck us over We will be there yelling at your front door [Outro] I've tried to make you listen, but you won't, it’s your way, right? Produced By Keenan (Producer) Written By Melanie Martinez & Keenan (Producer) Release Date September 6, 2019

Nobody: Melanie: let's shove all the cuss words in!!!

and everyone said this would be the worst song I-

*_This is our song to blast while protesting._* R.I.P George Floyd

Ok but like- why does this song relate so much to recent events??? 🤔

Ahhhhh I’m such a proud Stan

that chord progression though. that beat though. that voice though. that songwriting though. you know what, that whole song though. amazing

I don't know if it's just me but... Now whenever I hear a ringing sound I immediately start singing this in my head.

THE PRINCIPAL HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN!

Everyone before: Principal is the most boring one Everyone now: BEST ONE BY FAR

Am i the only one who thought this song would be a bomb even from the snippet?

The principal lost the election 🤭

i love how at 2:30 there's marching in the back round as if they are marching for their rights which is very interesting. i really love this song! :D

I’ve just realised everyone in the school wears pink or blue but Melanie dyed hers purple which means both . Thank u Melanie for bi people

Melanie: *bops shoulders intensely in the film* me: *does the same thing everytime i hear this song*

This fits so well with the recent riots and what not

Shes so underrated! She deserves more she’s so good! ❤️

let me just change what i originally said, have fun being confused lmaooaoa

I MEMORIZED THE WHOLE ALBUM BUT I CANT EVEN REMBER MY BIRTHDAY TF

“I’ve tried to make you listen but you won’t it’s your way right?” I swear she’s talking to my mom.

The principal is OUT!!!!

Every time I listen to Melanie’s song I just *fall deeper and deeper into the fandom*

I've loved you since the 4th grade with "dollhouse" and now I'm a freshman!! Time flies when you're watching melanie martinez videos😂🌼💠💚Melanie you inspire me so much with my music on my channel and even with my single coming out soon, you've really developed my love for horror, to say the least, and encouraged my growth with creativity. Okay, rant over.🌸💐🌺

Fun fact: if you look in the lyric book from the vinyl for this song, you can see that it’s: _The principal, ooh oh_ _Oh, where’s the_ *principle?* _Oh, where’s the_ *principle?* i love how it’s a play on those two words. the principal obvs being the principal of a school, aka a higher-up or authority figure. the principle is like your values or morals. so she’s basically saying: *Authority figure, where are your morals?* which is very accurate for the political state of affairs rn

Guys.. When September hits its officially gonna be 2 years since this came out. Time flies fast

I hope she gets faaaaar faaaaaar she is amazing and unique

i was not expecting this song to be more upbeat, but girl.. it's melanie. she KNOWS what we want 💖💗💓

why are all the covers of the videos saying “RIP CRYBABY” is there new stuff coming???? omg

I'm so happy The Principal finally left!

*_ESTO ES SIMPLEMENTE MAGNÍFICO!!!! ❤️❤️❤️_*

No one: **The class phone rings** Me: *THE PRINCIPAL*

Lyrics [clean]: Melanie: Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, freaking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you're always squeaky What if I had told your mother Her son was a cruel child-abuser? Ah It's not just me, it's everybody Who thinks that you're really ugly When you come and hurt us Just so you can get your money Forced to follow the leader Who's being possessed by demons I've tried to make to listen But you won't it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Curse our dreams And that's not right The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Complicated, overrated You're fixated and elated By the separation In this place that you've created Curse all of your rules and guidelines You shouldn't even be on the sidelines Can't you see that we're all hurtin'? If you're not teachin', we're not learnin' Excuse me How much are you earnin'? I've tried to make you listen But you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Curse our dreams And that's not right The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh where's the principle? You don't know the pain that you are causing Yeah, your actions hurt So do your words The more you try to win us over We will be there yelling at your front door I've tried to make you listen but you won't, it's your way Right? [end]

melanie just standing there like: ♀️

WELCOME BACK LEGEND

Omg I’ve been waiting for so long 😭💗💗🥳

BRAZILLLLL 🌻🥺

"Can't u see that we're all hurting, if ur not teaching we're not learning" this song literally reninds me of school

as a trans man, i stan crybaby for killing the principal.

I WATCHED THE MOVIE WITH 172K PEOPLE IM SO GRATEFUL

Melanie Martinez has so much talent, skill and potential. Not only is she as beautiful as all of her fans (one of the prettiest people I have ever seen in my 22 year life) She is such a good caring person, you can tell through her music how much she cares and loves others. Keep up the great work Melanie, you are going far in this world! :D

Matilda:Let's be friends Melanie:Best friends! They're basically the same trash school,trash parents,Most importantly trash principle but at the end they're happy

Theme song for the President of my University who shut down the art program because it didn’t “make enough money” and then lied to all our faces as to where our tuition was going

Yesssssssssssss I love this song out of all of them!

*Wheels on the bus 🚍💕* *Class fight 😠👊💫* *The principal ☎* *Show & tell 😩🔗* *Nurse's office 😷* *Drama club💢📷* *Strawberry shortcake 🍓🍰* *Lunchbox friends 👧👱❌* *Orange juice 🍊* *Detention 😠🔗* *Teacher's pet 👨🐶* *High school 🏫* *Recess 💃💢*

Finally the evil has been defeated

Everybody is arguing that this isn’t just about trump and while I’m here realizing how the dark this song really is... Edit: Please don’t be rude

People are missing the point of the song insisting it's about Trump lol. It's definitely alluding to him, but it's not about him, it's about everyone in a position of power who abuses it or leaves the world worse than they left it, selling out and pushing harmful causes at the expense of future generations who will actually have to deal with them, but it's also a double entendre, she's talking about principles as in actual principles; we're losing our principles and need to find something to stand up for, and do what's right. It's about a lot more than one guy and the actual themes of the song deserve so much more appreciation and attention than that angry dementia ridden Cheeto puff.

i've listened to melanie through high school and her album crybaby really helped me through dark times and now as an adult and going through shit at work, this song really relates to me as well. thank you melanie for just being real and blunt and honest in your songs

This song hits harder now that my first elementary school teacher got fired. He made it hard onto my family, tried to convince my parents I had autisim, didn't really teach me anything past grade 3, and all of this other awful stuff all because he didn't agree with my mom (it's an independent school, and my mom was apart of the board). And now here I am, in grade 8, finding out that he got fired for sleeping with a parent. I hope that school is doing better now.

This whole album is amazing💕💕

that “huh” is so satisfying, as well as the chorus 😳😍😍

Okay, but anyone else think this song would go perfectly with how RU-vid as a platform is treating its creators?

My favorites are: 1. Class Fight 2. The Principal 3. Nurse's office SIKE!! I LOVE ALL MEL'S SONGS

Principal: fires trans Melanie: ~tells principal~ HASTA LA VISTA BITCH

Principal: *fires trans teacher* Cry baby:*kills him* Me, a transgender man: I’m not crying, you are.

My fav song from k12

As a trans nonbinary... thanks, Mel. It really does mean a lot.

I can relate to this song so much of the line *"I've tried to make you listen, but you wont it's your way right?"* because my dad never let's me talk

Brazillian meme on 00:40 “fode” LOL ❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂

bro we all appreciate the many meanings and creativeness she puts into all her songs and videos, i truly.love.melanie.martinez. 💓

I dedicate this song to my horrible primary school principal, I hope you don't know the pain that you caused me and still are causing other kids.

The principal: fired a trans Cry baby: kills him Edit: ty for the likes btw didn't mean to offend

Principal: fires trans teacher Crybaby: kills him Everyone liked that

Yo!! I just realised that in the chorus, shes saying, "youre the princiPAL, wheres the princiPLE" meaning where is the principle of his actions????? Obviously it should be the students, but the real principle is money. The change is so subtle and so meaningful when you notice!!!!!!

I LOVE HER SM!!!♥️

Funny Fact: This song is critically talking about Trump but Melanie masked it to put it onto the film. Who knew? Edit: those comments lmaoooo stream don't call me angel by ariana grande, miley cyrus and lana del rey on sept 13th

One of my favorite numbers in the film. The dance sequence was magical.

I keep listening the whole album over and over again. This album is just too great.

LITERALLY BBM

When this song played during the movie I thought she was saying "the friendship bowl" during the chorus instead of "the principle"

I actually thought I wouldn't like this one from the preview but this is actually one of the best bops

This song always makes me cry because it reminds me so much of my mom. She is a principal and let’s just say this describes her perfectly

She's like my fav artist💜

WELL,THATS THE FIRST SONG I JUST LISTENED AND IT IS ALREADY MY FAVORITE

The meaning of this song and nurses office is deep

This is the girl that’s gonna get me through middle school, high school and college

This is my favorite song out of all of the album
