Original broadway cast "rent" - What you own lyrics

Don't breathe too deep, don't think all day Dive into work, drive the other way That drip of hurt that pint of shame Goes away, just play the game You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Leave your conscience at the tone And when you're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own The filmmaker cannot see And the songwriter cannot hear Yet I see Mimi everywhere Angel's voice is in my ear Just tighten those shoulders Just clench your jaw 'til you frown Just don't let go or you may drown You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're living in America Where it's like the Twilight Zone You're living in America At the end of the millennium You're what you own So I own not a notion I escape and ape content I don't own emotion, I rent What was it about that night What was it about that night Connection, in an isolating age For once the shadows gave way to light For once the shadows gave way to light For once I didn't disengage Angel, I hear you, I hear it I see it, I see it, my film Mimi I see you, I see it I hear it, I hear it my song Alexi, Mark one song, Glory Call me a hypocrite Mimi I need to finish my own film your eyes I quit Dying in America A the end of the millennium We're dying in America To come into our own And when you're dying in America At the end of the millennium You're not alone I'm not alone, I'm not alone
