Original broadway cast "rent" - You'll see lyrics
BENNY Hey you bum - yeah, you, move over Get your a** off the Range Rover MARK That attitude toward the homeless is just what Maureen is protesting tonight 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 the 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 d** MARK Or group hugs COLLINS Which reminds me - We have to make a detour tonight Anyone who wants can come alone 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 got 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
