original television cast of rent live - you'll see lyrics

[benny]
joy to the world

[collins]
benny still has a key?

[roger]
benny owns the building

[benny]
hey you, bum, yeah, you, move over
get your -ss off that range rover

[mark]
that att-tude towards the homeless
that’s exactly what maureen is protesting tonight

[benny]
maureen is protesting
losing her performance sp-ce, not my att-tude
she’s not worried about the people living in that empty lot
she’s worried about losing her home for her angry little protest skits

[roger]
what’s happened to benny?
what happened to his heart
and the ideals he once pursued?

[benny]
and the owner of that lot next door
has the 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]
i did, and they’re on stand by
but my investors would rather
i’d 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 perfect it!
it’s what we used to dream about
think twice before you reject it
you’ll see, boys
you’ll see, boys
[benny opens a portfolio with schematics of his new studio]
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
[benny exits]

[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 is a group for people coping with life

[collins]
we don’t have to stay long

[mark]
first i’ve got that 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 & collins]
we’ll see, boys

[roger]
just let it be, boys

[collins]
i like boys

[angel]
boys like me

[all]
we’ll see
