Rent – You'll See lyrics

Benny
Hey You Bum - Yeah, You, Move Over
Get Your ass Off That Range Rover
Mark
That attitude toward the homeless is just what
Maureen is protesting tonight.

Close up: Benjamin Coffin the third. Our ex-
Roommate, who married Alison Grey, of the Westport
Greys - then bought the building, in hopes of starting
A cyber-studio

Benny
Maureen Is Protesting
Losing Her Performance Space
Not My Attitude
Come on down, I wanna talk to you

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

Roger
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 And Injunction
Or Call The Cops

Benny
Yea I Did, And They're On Standby
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 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 drugs.

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 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 too much company, you'll find. (Leaves)

Mark
Behave!

Angel
He'll catch up later.
He's just got other things on his mind.
You'll see boys.

Mark and roger
We'll see boys.

Police
Let it be boys.

Collins
I like boys.

Angel
Boys like me!

All
We'll see.
