Benny:
Hey you bum - yeah, you, move over
Get your ass off that range rover
Mark:
That attitude toward the homeless is just what
Maureen is protesting tonight.
Close up: Benjamin Coffin the third. Our ex-
roommate who married Alison Grey, of the Westport
Greys - then bought the building, in hopes of starting
a cyber-studio.
Benny:
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space
Not my attitude
Roger:
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued
Benny:
The owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleases
Collins:
Happy birthday, Jesus!
Benny:
The rent
Mark:
You're wasting your time
Roger:
We're broke
Mark:
And you broke your word - this is absurd
Benny:
There is one way you won't have to pay
Roger:
I knew it!
Benny:
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
Mark:
What?
Benny:
Convince Maureen to cancel her protest
Mark:
Why not just get an injunction or call the cops
Benny:
I did, and they're on stand by
But my investors would rather
I handle this quietly
Roger:
You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!
Benny:
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it!
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you pooh-pooh 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
Angel:
That boy could use some prozac
Roger:
Or heavy drugs
Mark:
Or group hugs
Collins:
Which reminds me -
We have a detour to make tonight
Anyone who wants to can come along
Angel:
Life support's a group for people coping with life
You don't have to stay too long
Mark:
First I've got a protest to save
Angel:
Roger?
Roger:
I'm not much company you'll find
Mark:
Behave!
Angel:
He'll catch up later - He's just go other things on his mind
You'll see boys
Mark & Collins:
We'll see boys
Roger:
Let it be boys!
Collins:
I like boys
Angel:
Boys like me
All:
We'll see.
