La vie Boheme! -RENT-

To days of inspiration
Playing hookie, making something out of nothing
The need to express, to communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane, going mad

To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad

To riding your bike
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolute- to choice
To the Village Voice
To any passing fad

To being an us for once, instead of a them
La vie Boheme

To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou

Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation
Mucho masturbation

Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new
To Sontag, to Sondheim
To anything taboo

Ginsberg, Dylan, Cunningham and Cage
Lenny Bruce, Langston Hughes
To the stage

To Uta, To Buddha
Pablo Neruda, too

Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Em
La vie Boheme

Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens,
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men, Pee Wee Herman
German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein
Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa
Carmina Burana

To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
Vaclav Havel - The Sex Pistols, 8BC,
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game
To marijuana

To sodomy, it's between God and me
To S & M
La vie Boheme

To Dance!
No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection
Muscle spasm, 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, feeling, power, harmony, and heavy competition

Anarchy!
To revolution, justice, screaming for solutions
Forcing changes, risk, and danger, making noise and making pleas

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 amoung us without sin be the first to condemn
La vie Boheme

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
La vie Boheme

Viva La vie Boheme!
