What You Own

(앨범: Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 1996)

[Mark:]
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game

You're living in America
At the end of the millenium

You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone

And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own

[Roger:]
The filmmaker cannot see

[Mark:]
And the songwriter cannot hear

[Roger:]
Yet I see Mimi everywhere

[Mark:]
Angel's voice is in my ear

[Roger:]
Just tighten those shoulders

[Mark:]
Just clench your jaw til you frown

[Roger:]
Just don't let go

[Both:]
Or you may drown

You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone

And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own

So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion I rent

[Mark:]
What was it about that night?

Connection
In an isolating age
For once the shadows gave way to light

[Roger:]
What was it about that night?
Connection
In an isolating age

[Mark:]
For once I didn't disengage
Angel, I hear you, I hear it
I see it, I see it, my film
Alexi Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my
Own film

[Roger:]
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once I didn't disengage
Mimi I see you, I see it
I hear it, I hear it, my song
One Song Glory
Mimi Your Eyes!

[Mark:]
I quit!

[Both:]
Dying in America
At the end of the millenium
We're dying in America
To come into our own

And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millenium
You're not alone

I'm not alone
I'm not alone
