so this song wasn't included in the actual show, but I think it's still a really good song :') Clarisse and Silena sing it together with Luke and the audio was found from the video of The Percy Jackson Musical In Concert at The Green Room 42 [ • The Lightning Thief: T... ] 8/28/2017 (7:00 show)
Rob Rokicki talks about this song saying "So, act two to this show- Good lord. When we expanded it, we had a lotta challenges working on act two. We had, like, five different prologues, cut 'em all. But, the most ambitious of these prologues was this insane song. This song that I was like: "I'm gonna write a really tricky song with, like, a billion time signature changes and, like, a million key signature changes," and "let's do that!" Um, and then we learned it in the workshop, and... Those poor actors. They looked like they were gonna murder me, but the setup for it was that our trio, they call Luke, and there's [a] rainbow phone, and the thing, and then all of a sudden we come back to camp. And we see all the campers picking a side for the imminent war to come, so of course, led by Clarisse, who's the daughter of the God of War, Ares. And so it's like Clarisse, Silena, who's the daughter of Aphrodite, and Luke, son of Hermes, and they're, like, all trying to... Y'know, Luke's trying to get in the middle to be like "Alright, let's calm down" and Clarisse is like "No. Let's start a war."

Lyrics (?):
Clarisse: "We all better get ready for battle!"
There's a war goin' down, goin' down, yeah baby
There's a war goin' down up there
Luke: "But we don't know who stole the bolt!"
Clarisse: "Sweet Luke, it doesn't matter!"
Clarisse: There's a war goin' down, yeah maybe
Yeah maybe we don't know who to blame, but it's a battle just the same
'Cause it's real this time and not some game
We gotta pick a side
'Cause this could be do or die
We need to know just where your loyalties lie
Luke: "Percy will find a way!"
Clarisse: "Don't make me gag!"
Percy couldn't find his way out of a paper bag!
We got a choice to make, can't be denied
We gotta
Pick a side
Silena: "I mean, can't we just pick flowers, and make friendship bracelets?"
Clarisse: "Wake up, Silena. If our parents fight, they're gonna want us by their side."
Silena: "My mom doesn't believe in war."
Clarisse: "Oh yeah? Then why does she keep texting my dad?"
Silena: gasp
Luke: "Ohh..."
There's a war goin' down, goin' down, yeah ladies
There's a war goin' down out there
There's a war goin' down and we better hope to Hades
That Percy gets it right and then we don't have to fight
Silena: But just in case she's in my side
I gotta pick a side
'Cause this could be do or die
Luke: "But we don't have to fight the battle, Silena!"
Clarisse and Silena: We need to know just where your loyalties lie
Luke: You don't have to choose!
Clarisse: This fight's gonna be one hell of a clincher
Prissy Percy's gonna lose his Poseidon adventure
All: We got a choice to make, can't be denied
We got to
Pick a side
Clarisse: "Whoever my dad backs, I'm with them. Peace is a joke."
Silena: "Whoever says 'love is worthless,' I'm gonna kick your butt."
Clarisse: "Yeah! Haha!"
Now at camp we win
Luke: "Guys?"
Silena: Be the champion
Luke: "Guys?"
Clarisse and Silena: The last Olympian standing
Luke: It's their fight not ours
Clarisse: Make our parents proud
Silena: Make our voices loud.
Luke: I would never help my father (Clarisse and Silena: ???)
All: We got a choice to make
Clarisse: Can't be denied
All: We got a choice to make
Silena: To earn our pride
All: We got a choice to make
Can't run and hide
You gotta
Pick a side
