[Original Television Cast of Rent Live, Brandon Victor Dixon, Brennin Hunt, Jordan Fisher, Mario - You'll See lyrics]
Benny still has a key?
Benny owns the building
Hey you, bum, yeah, you, move over
Get your ass off that range rover
That attitude towards the homeless
That's exactly what Maureen
Is protesting tonight
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space, not my attitude
She's not worried about the people
Living in that empty lot
She's worried about losing her home for
Her angry little protest skit's
What's happened to Benny?
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued?
And the owner of that lot next door
Has the right to do with it as he please, s
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
I did, and they're on stand by
But my investors would rather
I'd handle this quietly
You can't 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 perfect it!
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you reject 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 is a group for
People coping with life
We don't have to stay long
First I've got that 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
Just let it be, boys
I like boys
Boys like me
We'll see
