Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Benny: (spoken in beat)
Hey, you, bum - Yeah you, move over
Get your ass off that Range RoverMark: (spoken in beat)
That attitude toward the homeless is exactly
What Maureen is protesting tonightClose 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 attitudeRoger:
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursuedBenny:
And the owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleasesCollins:
Happy birthday, Jesus.Benny:
The rentMark:
You're wasting your timeRoger:
We're brokeMark:
And you broke your word - this is absurdBenny:
There is one way you won't have to payRoger:
I knew itBenny:
Next door, the home of Cyberarts, you see
And now that the block is re-zoned
Our dream can become a realityYou'll see boys
You'll see boysA 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 favorMark:
What?Benny:
Convince Maureen to cancel her protestMark:
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 quietlyRoger:
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 itYou'll see boys
You'll see boysYou'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 shopJust stop the protest
And you'll have it made
You'll see - or you'll packAngel:
That boy could use some prozacRoger:
Or heavy drugsMark:
Or group hugsCollins:
Which reminds me, we have a detour to make tonight.
Anyone who wants to can come alongAngel:
Life support's a group for people coping with life,
We don't have to stay too longMark:
First I've got a protest to saveAngel:
Roger?Roger:
I'm not much company, you'll findMark:
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.
