La Vie Boheme B

Maureen: Are we packed?

Joanne: Yes, and by next week
I want you to be.

Maureen: Pookie?

Joanne: And you should see
They've padlocked your building
And they're rioting on Avenue B
Benny called the cops.

Maureen: That fuck!

Joanne: They don't know what they're doing
The cops are sweeping the lot
But no one's leaving
They're just sitting there, mooing!

All: Yeeeeah!

To dance

Mimi: No way to make a living, masochism
Pain, perfection
Muscle spasms, chiropractors
Short careers, eating disorders!

All: To film!

Mark: Adventure, tedium, no family
Boring locations
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos
Money, Hollywood, and sleaze!

All: Music!

Angel: Food of Love, emotion, mathematics
Isolation,
Rhythm, power, feeling, harmony
And heavy competition!

All: Anarchy!

Collins & Maureen: Revolution, justice
Screaming for solutions
Forcing changes
Risk, and danger
Making noise and making pleas!

All: To faggots, lezzies, dykes
Crossdressers, too!

Maureen: To me!

Mark: To me!

Collins & Angel: To me!

All: To you, and you, and you, you, and you!
To people living with, living with,
living with
Not dying from disease!

Let he among us without sin
Be the first to condemn!

La Vie Boheme!
La Vie Boheme!
La Vie Boheme!

Mark: To anyone out of the mainstream,
Is anyone in the mainstream?
To anyone alive with a sex drive!
Tear down the wall! Aren't we all?
The opposite of war isn't PEACE!
It's CREATION!

All: WHOO!
La Vie Boheme...
