RENT
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
How do you document real life
2
When real life's getting more like fiction each day?
3
Headlines, bread-lines blow my mind
4
And now this deadline, eviction or pay rent
5
How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong
6
Though they once sounded right and rare?
7
When the notes are sour
8
Where is the power you once had to ignite the air?
9
We're hungry and frozen, some life that we've chosen
10
How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay?
11
How we gonna pay? Last year's rent?
12
How do you start a fire when there's nothing to burn
13
And it feels like something's stuck in your flue?
14
How can you generate heat when you can't feel your feet?
15
And they're turning blue
16
You light up a mean blaze with posters and screenplays
17
How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay?
18
How we gonna pay? Last year's rent?
19
How do you stay on your feet when on every street?
20
It's trick or treat and tonight it's trick
21
Welcome back to town I should lie down
22
Everything's brown and uh-oh, I feel sick
23
Where is he? Getting dizzy
24
How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay?
25
How we gonna pay? Last year's rent?
26
The music ignites the night with passionate fire
27
The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit
28
Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground
29
And feel the heat of the future's glow
30
How do you leave the past behind
31
When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart?
32
It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out
33
'Til you're torn apart, rent
34
How can you connect in an age
35
Where strangers, landlords, lovers
36
Your own blood cells betray?
37
What binds the fabric together
38
When the raging, shifting winds of change
39
Keep ripping away
40
Draw a line in the sand and then make a stand
41
Use your camera to spar, use your guitar
42
When they act tough, you call their bluff
43
We're not gonna pay, we're not gonna pay
44
We're not gonna pay, last year's rent
45
This year's rent, next year's rent
46
Rent, rent, rent, rent, rent
47
We're not gonna pay rent
48
'Cause everything is rent
