(roger playing chords)

[mark]
if i threw my body out the window
brain all splattered, guts all steaming in the snow
i wouldn’t have to finish shooting films
that no one wants to show
rent

[roger]
if i studied something that paid salary
wouldn’t have to do the sh+t i do for cash
my guts all steaming, f+ck this dreaming
speed metal rock songs for the trash

[mark]
the wheels aren’t turning

[roger]
it’s worthy of burning

[mark & roger]
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
last month’s rent
[roger]
if i took a hammer, tapped my forehead
wouldn’t have to wake and stagger through the week
or hear a boring, grinning, whoring, brainless, dull
producer speak
rent

[mark]
if i slide the bars back
hurled my body through the cracked glass
on some crack+head’s cardboard bed
maureen look at my frozen frame
and shout my name, and then drop dead

[roger]
she’s got a new man?
what’s his name?

[mark]
joanne

[mark & roger]
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
last month’s rent
[angel]
you okay, honey?

[collins]
i’m afraid so

[angel]
they get any money

[collins]
no
had none to get +
they purloined my coat +
well you missed a sleeve! + thanks

[angel]
h+ll, it’s christmas eve

[maureen]
that’s the stage joanne! kiss!
remind me when i stress, forgive me

[joanne]
that was last tuesday night, mauren

[angel]
i’m angel
[collins]
indeed, an angel of the first degree
friends call me collins + tom collins
nice tree

[roger]
if they toss my carcass in the dumpster
my fingers wouldn’t bleed and blister and scar
my head wouldn’t pund from the sound
of garbage streaming out of my guitar

[mark]
if i k!lled myself or studied business
no more parents spitting up on my career
so, are you showing? where’s this going?
home for christmas?

[mark & roger]
not this year!

[mark]
we’re hungry and frozen

[roger]
some life that we’ve chosen

[mark & roger]
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
how we gonna pay
last month’s rent
this month’s rent
next month’s rent
rent rent rent rent rent
how we gonna pay rent

how we gonna pay rent
