Rent - You'll See lyrics

Benny: (spoken in beat) Hey, you, bum - Yeah you, move over Get your a** off that Range Rover Mark: (spoken in beat) That attitude toward the homeless is exactly What Maureen is protesting tonight Close up, Benjamin Coffin III. Our ex-roommate, who married Alison Grey, of the Westport Greys - then bought our building and the lot next door from his father-in-law, in hopes of starting a cyber-studio. Benny: (sung) 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: And 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: Yeah I did, and they're on standby But my investors would rather I handle this quietly Roger: You can't just 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 d** 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, We 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 and Collins: We'll see boys. Roger: Let it be boys! Collins: I like boys. Angel: Boys like me! ALL We'll see.
