How do you document real life when real life's 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
(ROGER & MARK)
How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay?
How we gonna pay? Last year's rent?
(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?
(ROGER & MARK)
And they're turning blue!
(MARK)
You light up a mean blaze
(ROGER)
With posters -
(MARK)
And screenplays
(ROGER & 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" I should lie down
Everything's brown, and uh-oh
I feel sick
(MARK)
Where is he?
(COLLINS)
Getting dizzy
(ROGER & MARK)
How we gonna pay
(TENANTS)
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
(ROGER, MARK & TENANTS)
Last year's rent
(MARK)
"The music ignites the night with passionate fire"
(ROGER)
"The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit"
(MARK)
Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground
(ROGER & MARK)
And feel the heat of the future's glow
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
"Til you're torn apart
Rent!
(ROGER, MARK & TENANTS)
How can you connect in an age
Where strangers, landlords, lovers
Your own blood cells betray!
What binds the fabric together
When the ringing, 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
(TENANTS)
When they act tough - you call their bluff
(ROGER & MARK)
We're not gonna pay
(ROGER, MARK & TENANTS)
We're not gonna pay
We're not gonna pay
Last year's rent! This year's rent!
Next year's rent
Rent rent rent rent rent
We're not gonna pay rent!!
'Cause everything is RENT!!!
