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!
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
And we're hungry and frozen
Some life that we've chosen
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
Last year's rent
How do you start a fire
When there's nothing to burn
And it feels like something's stuck in your flue
How can you generate heat
When you can't feel your feet
And they're turning blue!
You light up a mean blaze
With posters and screenplays
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
Last year's rent
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 oh, I feel sick
Where is he?
Getting dizzy
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
How're we gonna pay
Last year's rent
The music ignites the night with passionate fire
The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit
Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground
And feel the heat of the future's glow
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!
How can you connect in an age
Where strangers, landlords, lovers
