Alba s touto skladbou:
No Shame,
The RENT,
Bohémové,
Actually,
MARK
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
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?
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?
And they're turning blue
MARK
You light up a mean blaze
ROGER
With posters
MARK
and screenplays
BOTH
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
MARK & 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
Zoom in as they burn
the past to the ground
BOTH
And feel the heat of
the future's glow
MARK
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
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 they're bluff
We're not gonna pay, 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
