What You Own Lyrics by Original Television Cast of Rent Live

Rent (Original Soundtrack of the Fox Live Television Event)

2019

[Mark]
Well I guess I'm off to sell my soul
Mark Cohen for Buzzline, coming up
Devil-worshipping welfare queens are coming to take your jobs
Oh my God
[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 millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
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 millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion, I rent
What was it about that night?
Connection
In an isolating age
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once I didn't disengage
Angel, I hear you, I hear it
Mimi, I see it, I see it, my film
Alexi - Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my
Own film
[Roger]
What was it about that night?
Connection
In an isolating age
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 millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
