Rent

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

Mark
We light candles

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 & Mark
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent
