Rent

Rent - Anthony Rapp/Adam Pascal/Daphne Rubin-Vega/Jesse L. Martin

Lyrics by：Jonathan Larson

Composed by：Jonathan Larson

Produced by：Arif Mardin/Steve Skinner

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

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

We're hungry and frozen

Some life that we've chosen

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent

How do you start a fire

When there's nothing to burn

And it feels like something's stuck in your flue

How can you generate heat

When you can't feel your feet

And they're turning blue

You light up a mean blaze

With posters

And screenplays

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent

Don't scream Maureen

It's me Joanne

Your substitute production manager

Hey hey hey

Did you eat

Don't change the subject Maureen

But darling you haven't eaten all day

You won't throw up

You won't throw up

The digital delay

Didn't blow up exactly

There may have been one teeny tiny spark

You're not calling Mark

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

Where is he
