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
Yeah!!!
ALL
To dance
A GIRL
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection.
Muscle spasms, chiropractors, short careers, eating disorders
ALL
Film
MARK
Adventure, tedium, no family, boring locations
Darkrooms, 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, cross dressers 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 Bohème
La Vie Bohème
La Vie Bohème
MARK
Anyone out of the mainstream
Is anyone in the mainstream?
Anyone alive with a sex drive
Tear down the wall
Aren't we all
The opposite of war isn't peace...
It's creation
