La vie bohème B Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

Are we packed? (Yes, and by next week I want you to be)
Pookie? (My name is not Pookie and we will discuss us later)

And Mark, you should see
They′ve padlocked your building and they're rioting on Avenue B
Benny called the cops (What?)
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

(Yeah, to dance)
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
Muscle spasms, chiropractors
Short careers, eating disorders (film)
Adventure, tedium, no family, boring locations
Dark rooms, perfect faces, egos, money, Hollywood and sleaze (music)
Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation
Rhythm, power, feeling, harmony, and heavy competition (anarchy)
Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions
Forcing changes, risk, and danger, making noise and making please


To faggots, lezzies, dykes, cross dressers too
(To me, to me, to me)
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
Anyone out of the mainstream (la vie Bohème)
Is anyone in the mainstream? (La vie Bohème)
Anyone alive with a sex drive (la vie Bohème)
Tear down the wall, aren′t we all?
The opposite of war isn't peace, it′s creation (woo)
La vie Bohème

Inside, the party continues all night long
Outside, the snow dances
A riot breaks out in the lot

And oblivious to it all, Mimi and Roger share a small lovely kiss

Viva la vie Bohème
