Artist/Band: Rent Soundtrack
Lyrics for Song: Rent
Lyrics for Album: Rent [2005 Movie Soundtrack] [2005]



[MARK]

How do you document real life

When real life is getting more

Like fiction each day

Headlines -- bread-lines

Blow my mind

And now this deadline

"Eviction -- or pay"

Rent!



[ROGER]

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



[MARK]

And we're hungry and frozen



[ROGER]

Some life that we've chosen



[TOGETHER]

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent



[ROGER]

How do you start a fire

When there's nothing to burn

And it feels like something's stuck in your flue



[MARK]

How can you generate heat

When you can't feel your feet



[BOTH]

And they're turning blue!



[MARK]

You light up a mean blaze



[ROGER]

With posters --



[MARK]

And screenplays



[ROGER AND MARK]

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent



[COLLINS]

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'

Oh, I should lie down

Everything's brown

And uh -- oh

I feel sick



[MARK]

Where is he?



[COLLINS]

Getting dizzy



[MARK AND ROGER]

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent



[MARK (reading from a script page)]

"The music ignites the night with passionate fire"



[ROGER]

"The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit"



[MARK]

Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground



[MARK AND ROGER]

And feel the heat of the future's glow



[MARK AND HALF OF COMPANY]

How do you leave the past behind

When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart

It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out

Till you're torn apart

Rent!



[ROGER AND OTHER HALF OF COMPANY]

How can you connect in an age

Where strangers, landlords, lovers

Your own blood cells betray



[ALL]

What binds the fabric together

When the raging, shifting winds of change

Keep ripping away



[BENNY]

Draw a line in the sand

And then make a stand



[ROGER]

Use your camera to spar



[MARK]

Use your guitar



[ALL]

When they act tough - you call their bluff



[MARK AND ROGER]

We're not gonna pay



[MARK AND ROGER WITH HALF OF COMPANY]

We're not gonna pay



[MARK AND ROGER WITH OTHER HALF OF COMPANY]

We're not gonna pay



[ALL]

Last year's rent

This year's rent

Next year's rent

Rent rent rent rent rent

We're not gonna pay rent

'Cause everything is rent
