[MARK]
How do you document real life
When real life's getting more
Like fiction each day
Headlines--bread-lines
Blow my mind
And now this deadline
"Eviction--or pay"
Rent

[ROGER]
How do you write a song
When the chords sound wrong
Though they once sounded right and rare
When the notes are sour
Where is the power
You once had to ignite the air

[MARK]
And we're hungry and frozen

[ROGER]
Some life that we've chosen

[MARK & ROGER]
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent
