Letra de

[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

[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 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

[ROGER AND MARK]
´Cause everything is rent
