What You Own — текст песни (Original Broadway Cast)

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 millenium
You`re living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you`re living in America
At the end of the millenium
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 millenium
You`re living in America
Where it`s like the Twilight Zone
You`re living in America
At the end of the millenium
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 once the shadows gave way to light
ROGER
For once the shadows gave way to light
BOTH
For once I didn`t disengage
MARK
Angel - I hear you - I hear it
I see it - I see it
My film!
ROGER
Mimi I see you - I see it
I hear it - I hear it
My song!
MARK ROGER
Alexi - Mark One song - Glory
Call me a hypocrite Mimi
I need to finish my own film Your eyes
I quit!
BOTH
Dying in America
A 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
