I don't own emotion... I RENT.

RENT = BESTMOVIEEVEROHMYGOODNESSSEEITNOW.

What You Own- from Rent of course.

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
Just tighten those shoulders
Just clench your jaw 'til you frown
Just don't let go
Or you may drown
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion -
I rent... and I quit
Dying in America
At the end of the millenium
We're dying in America
To come into our own...


isn't that the truth? We're drowning ourselves in "American culture-" where you're what you own. Whatever happened to a culture being defined by its artists, its revolutionaries? I say we bring the old way back. I am an artist. My future might involve not a whole lot of money or "success" by current definition, but at least I'll have my dignity. And I'm not selling out, whatever the cost. I refuse to die in America at the start of this millenium. Who's with me?

P.S. even if you're not with me... see Rent. yes, there are a few lyrics, lines, ideas, etc. that aren't exactly wholesome family values... but see it anyway because it's good. SOOO GOOD.
