Taye Diggs feat. Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Wilson Jermaine Heredia & Jesse L. Martin -
Rent (Original Broadway Cast)
You'll See
Hey, you, bum - Yeah you, move over
Get your ass off that Range Rover
That attitude toward the homeless is exactly
What Maureen is protesting tonight
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space
Not my attitude
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued
And the owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleases
Happy birthday, Jesus
(The rent) You're wasting your time
(We're broke) And you broke your word
This is absurd
There is one way you won't have to pay (I knew it!)
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
(What?) Convince Maureen to cancel her protest
Why not just get an injunction or call the cops?
Yeah I did, and they're on standby
But my investors would rather
I handle this quietly
You can't just quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' on TV!
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it!
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you pooh-pooh it
You'll see boys
You'll see boys
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
That boy could use some prozac
Or heavy drugs
Or group hugs
Which reminds me, we have a detour to make tonight
Anyone who wants to can come along
Life support's a group for people coping with life,
We don't have to stay too long
First I've got a protest to save
(Roger?) I'm not much company, you'll find
(Behave!) He'll catch up later
He's just got other things on his mind
You'll see boys
We'll see boys
Let it be boys!
I like boys
Boys like me!
We'll see
Get your ass off that Range Rover
That attitude toward the homeless is exactly
What Maureen is protesting tonight
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space
Not my attitude
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued
