Jonathan Larson - You'll See [Motion Picture Soundtrack] Lyrics

What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued

And the owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleases

Happy birthday, Jesus!

The rent

You're wasting your time

You're broke

And you broke your word, this is absurd

There is one way you won't have to pay

I knew it!

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

What?

Convince Maureen to cancel her protest

Why not just get an injunction or call the cops

I did, and they're on stand by
But my investors would rather
I handle this quietly

You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!

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
