Rent

Rent - You'll See lyrics

Benny

Hey you bum - yeah, you, move over

Get your ass off that range rover

Mark

That attitude toward the homeless is just what

Maureen is protesting tonight.

Close up: Benjamin Coffin the third. Our ex-

roommate who married Alison Grey, of the Westport

Greys - then bought the building, in hopes of starting

a cyber-studio.

Benny

Maureen is protesting

Losing her performance space

Not my attitude

Roger

What happened to Benny

What happened to his heart

And the ideals he once pursued

Benny

The owner of that lot next door

Has a right to do with it as he pleases

Collins

Happy birthday, Jesus!

Benny

The rent

Mark

You're wasting your time

Roger

We're broke

Mark

And you broke your word - this is absurd

Benny

There is one way you won't have to pay

Roger

I knew it!

Benny

Next door, the home of Cyberarts, you see

And now that the block is re-zoned

Our dream can become a reality

You'll see boys

You'll see boys

A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio

I'll forego your rent and on paper guarantee

That you can stay here for free

If you do me one small favor

Mark

What?

Benny

Convince Maureen to cancel her protest

Mark

Why not just get an injunction or call the cops

Benny

I did, and they're on stand by

But my investors would rather

I handle this quietly

Roger

You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city

Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!

Benny

You want to produce films and write songs?

You need somewhere to do it!

It's what we used to dream about

Think twice before you pooh-pooh it

You'll see boys

You'll see boys

You'll see - the beauty of a studio

That lets us do our work and get paid

With condos on the top

Whose rent keeps open our shop

Just stop the protest

And you'll have it made

You'll see - or you'll pack

Angel

That boy could use some prozac

Roger

Or heavy drugs

Mark

Or group hugs

Collins

Which reminds me -

We have a detour to make tonight

Anyone who wants to can come along

Angel

Life support's a group for people coping with life

You don't have to stay too long

Mark

First I've got a protest to save

Angel

Roger?

Roger

I'm not much company you'll find

Mark

Behave!

Angel

He'll catch up later - He's just go other things on his mind

You'll see boys

Mark & Collins

We'll see boys

Roger

Let it be boys!

Collins

I like boys

Angel

Boys like me

All

We'll see.
