Rent
MARK How do you document real life When real life is getting more Like fiction each day Headlines -- bread-lines Blow my mind And now this deadline 'Eviction -- or pay' Rent!
ROGER How do you write a song When the chords sound wrong Though they once sounded right and rare When the notes are sour Where is the power You once had to ignite the air
MARK And we're hungry and frozen
ROGER Some life that we've chosen
TOGETHER How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's rent

MARK How do you document real life When real life is getting more Like fiction each day Headlines -- bread-lines Blow my mind And now this deadline 'Eviction -- or pay' Rent!
ROGER How do you write a song When the chords sound wrong Though they once sounded right and rare When the notes are sour Where is the power You once had to ignite the air
MARK And we're hungry and frozen
ROGER Some life that we've chosen
TOGETHER How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's rent
MARK We light candles
ROGER How do you start a fire When there's nothing to burn And it feels like something's stuck in your flue
MARK How can you generate heat When you can't feel your feet
BOTH And they're turning blue!
MARK You light up a mean blaze
ROGER With posters --

ROGER AND MARK How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's rent
COLLINS How do you stay on your feet When on every street It's 'trick or treat' (And tonight it's 'trick') 'Welcome back to town' Oh, I should lie down Everything's brown And uh -- oh I feel sick
MARK Where is he?
COLLINS Getting dizzy
MARK AND ROGER How we gonna pay How we gonna pay How we gonna pay Last year's rent
MARK 'The music ignites the night with passionate fire'
ROGER 'The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit'
MARK AND HALF OF COMPANY How do you leave the past behind When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out Till you're torn apart Rent!
ROGER AND OTHER HALF OF COMPANY How can you connect in an age Where strangers, landlords, lovers Your own blood cells betray
ALL What binds the fabric together When the raging, shifting winds of change Keep ripping away
BENNY Draw a line in the sand And then make a stand
ROGER Use your camera to spar
MARK Use your guitar
ALL When they act tough - you call their bluff
MARK AND ROGER We're not gonna pay
MARK AND ROGER WITH HALF OF COMPANY We're not gonna pay
MARK AND ROGER WITH OTHER HALF OF COMPANY We're not gonna pay
ALL Last year's rent This year's rent Next year's rent Rent rent rent rent rent We're not gonna pay rent
ROGER AND MARK 'Cause everything is rent
