romeo & juliet - verona lyrics

[the prince]
if you think you’ve seen it all
then you had better think again
don’t care how many books you’ve read
or how many lands you’ve seen

you’re still not prepared for this
don’t be misled by pretty girls
or flowered gardens everywhere
you’ll soon see what i mean

the family called capulet
will not forgive and can’t forget
and the family called montague
is as unforgiving too

[the prince (ensemble)]
this is verona, you’re in verona (this is verona)
where hatred is a way of life
and you can cut it with a knife
the hate keeps flowing in their veins
it is more powerful than chains (flow in their veins)
and they are scared to turn their backs
it isn’t prudent to relax
not in verona (not in verona)
lovely verona
the population is unique
n0body turns the other cheek
when will they get it in their heads? (get it in their head)
their dreams will never leave their beds
until there is some compromise (some compromise )
and peace illuminates the skies
in verona (in verona)

[prince]
on the surface all is well
heaven on earth it would appear
a second look and you’ll see h+ll
it’s no picnic to live here

maybe the wound’s too deep and raw
archaic wounds take long to heal
and montague’s and capulet’s
seem to thrive on their ordeal

what tragic price must we pay
for bad blood to be washed away?
it’s all too sad to contemplate
and it’s all because of hate

in my verona (in my verona)
perfect verona (my verona)
two families with an ancient grudge
that all their praying cannot budge
an endless battle of two foes (two foes)
and neither one can find repose (and neither one can find repose)
as families swim against the tide (against the tide)
come meet some people who reside
in verona (in verona)
charming verona (in verona)
this one is called benvolio
and that’s his friend mercutio

these two are always in accord
but here comes tybalt with sword
but in this town, i am the law
it’s tough ‘cos everyone’s at war

[mercutio]
he’s mad, we are the law here

{benvolio]
we are too wild to be controlled

[tybalt]
i am too brave, i am too bold

[prince and ensemble]
in verona, come to verona
the population is unique
n0body turns the other cheek
the hate keeps flowing in our veins
hate is more powerful than chains
no wonder danger’s in the air
the enemy is everywhere…
in verona!
