Rent

[00:17.39] How do you document real life
[00:20.04] When real life is getting more like fiction each day
[00:24.70] Headlines, bread-lines
[00:26.26] Blow my mind
[00:27.19] And now this deadline
[00:28.97] Eviction or pay
[00:33.09] Rent!
[00:34.54] How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong
[00:38.00] Though they once sounded right and rare
[00:41.81] When the notes are sour
[00:43.39] Where is the power
[00:44.91] You once had to ignite the air
[00:48.42] We're hungry and frozen
[00:49.70] It's the life that we've chosen
[00:51.23] How we gonna pay
[00:53.75] How we gonna pay
[00:56.40] How we gonna pay
[00:59.12] Last year's rent
[01:03.40]
[01:15.52] How do you start a fire
[01:17.55] When there's nothing to burn
[01:18.72] And it feels like something's stuck in your flue
[01:23.06] How can you generate heat
[01:25.50] When you can't feel your feet
[01:26.89] And they're turning blue!
[01:29.65] You light up a mean blaze
[01:30.88] With posters and screenplays
[01:32.69] How we gonna pay
[01:34.85] How we gonna pay
[01:37.54] How we gonna pay
[01:40.24] Last year's rent
[01:44.12]
[01:49.74] How do you stay on your feet
[01:51.84] When on every street it's trick or treat and tonight it's trick
[01:57.48] Welcome back to town
[01:58.54] Oh, I should lie down
[02:00.01] Everything's brown and uh, oh
[02:02.27] I feel sick
[02:04.32] Where is he?
[02:05.52] Getting dizzy
[02:06.64] How we gonna pay
[02:09.06] How we gonna pay
[02:11.87] How we gonna pay
[02:14.49] Last year's rent
[02:18.78] The music ignites the night with passionate fire
[02:23.82] The narration crackles and pops with incendiary with the same yearly wilth
[02:29.12] Two men as they're grown up, passed through the ground and feel the heat and the futures glow
[02:35.78] How do you leave the past behind
[02:38.38] When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart
[02:43.10] It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out
[02:47.10] Till you're torn apart
[02:49.46] Rent!
[02:50.43] How can you connect in an age
[02:52.36] Where strangers, landlords, lovers
[02:54.42] Your own blood cells betray
[02:57.45] What binds the fabric together
[02:59.65] When the raging, shifting winds of change keep ripping away
[03:05.58] Draw a line in the sand
[03:07.07] And then make a stand
[03:08.36] Use your camera to spy
[03:09.77] Use your guitar
[03:10.96] When they act tough, you call their bluff
[03:13.92] We're not gonna pay
[03:16.51] We're not gonna pay
[03:19.05] We're not gonna pay
[03:21.84] Last year's rent
[03:24.68] This year's rent
[03:27.15] Next year's rent
[03:29.59] Rent, rent, rent, rent, rent
[03:32.42] We're not gonna pay rent
[03:34.78] 'Cause everything is rent
[03:49.63]
