Title: "My Way or the Highway" Vibe: Upbeat, sharp-witted, confident, pop/R&B duet with a heavy bassline and snappy percussion. (Intro) (Instrumental: A driving, funky bass groove with a rhythmic finger snap) Ash: You step into the room thinking you own the floor But darling, I’m the one who's keeping the score Don't need your opinion, don't need your advice I only play the game if I'm naming the price Ruby: Oh, bless your little heart, you think you’re in control But I’m the main event, the spark, and the soul You’re reading from a script that I already tore If you’re the queen of drama, I’m the emperor Ash: Please, you're a footnote, I’m the headline act Ruby: Sweetheart, your headline is a matter of fact—boring Chorus (Both): It’s a clash of the titans, a battle of wits We’re tearing up the arena, making no apologies Ash: It’s my way Ruby: Or the highway Both: And nobody's hitting the brakes Let’s see who’s got exactly what it takes Verse 2 Ruby: You talk a big game for a second-row seat I’m running this show while you’re checking your feet I shine so bright I leave a shadow on you Go back to the bench, find something else to do Ash: A shadow? That’s cute, but it’s just reflection From my flawless, unbothered, absolute perfection You’re a spark in the pan, a temporary craze I’m a permanent fixture in a stadium blaze Ruby: Keep dreaming, honey, dreams are totally free Ash: I don’t dream, I just collect the royalty Chorus (Both): It’s a clash of the titans, a battle of wits We’re tearing up the arena, making no apologies Ash: It’s my way Ruby: Or the highway Both: And nobody's hitting the brakes Let’s see who’s got exactly what it takes Bridge Ash: You think you’re tough? Ruby: I know I’m gold. Ash: Well, I’m the story that’s never been told. Ruby: Then wrap it up quickly, the audience is bored. Ash: Watch your mouth, or you're getting ignored. (Beat drops out, just a solo bass pulse) Ruby: You couldn't ignore me if you tried. Ash: (Laughs) Try me. (Beat slams back in full force) Chorus (Both): It’s a clash of the titans, a battle of wits We’re tearing up the arena, making no apologies Ash: It’s my way Ruby: Or the highway Both: And nobody's hitting the brakes Let’s see who’s got exactly what it takes Outro Ash: Yeah, it’s my way. Ruby: Keep talking, it’s my highway. Ash: Whatever helps you sleep at night. Ruby: Oh, I sleep like a queen. (Final sharp hit on the drums) Both: Goodbye!
