What You Own-rent Lyrics

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 till 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



Mark- 

What was it about that night?



Roger-

What was it about that night?



Both-

Connection- in an isolating age



Mark- 

For one the shadows gave way

To light



Both- 

For once I didn’t disengage



Mark- 

Angel I hear you- I hear it 

II see it I see it 

My film!



Roger-

Mimi I see you- I see it

I hear it I hear it

My song!



Mark (on phone) Roger-

Alexi- MarkOne song glory

Call me a hypocrite Mimi

I need to finish my 

Own filmYour eyes

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
