Rock Of Ages (Musical) - We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands Тексты
Regina:
Mayor, we don't really know the first thing about these people, or even what they want to build!
Hertz:
Say you don't know me,
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Regina:
Knee deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Hertz;
Too many runaways
Hertz & franz:
Eating up the night!
Hertz:
Marconi plays the mamba
Regina:
Listen to the radio!
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on…
Mayor:
Clean, efficient living?
Hertz:
Exactly!
Regina;
But mayor, think about the businesses already there! what about them!?
Dennis:
They're calling it "economic redevelopment."
Apparently "the bourbon" no longer generates an "adequate tax revenue."
Lonny:
That's why i keep telling ya we need to bring back "naked jello wrestling thursdays!"
But this time, check it, we let women enter.
Dennis:
Maybe it's time to cash it in anyway--
Drew:
Whoa, dennis?! what are you saying?!
Dennis:
It's just--
I'm sittin' on this barstool
Talkin' like a damn fool!
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And i've given up hope
For the afternoon soaps…
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder i'm not crazy?
Lonny:
So chew a couple prozac! come on, dennis!
Dennis:
Is it any wonder i'm sane at all?
Drew:
You do wash your hands a lot.
Lonny/ dennis/ drew/ hertz/ mayor/ franz/ regina
Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands
Dennis:
And it's tickin' away…
Lonny:
Tickin' away from me!
So you sell, but what do i do?! "the bourbon" is my life, man!
Dennis:
Hold the phone! you guys see who's in today's paper?!
Drew;
Monster rockers, "arsenal," are breaking up.
According to sources, lead singer, stacee jaxx,
Will leave the band after this tour to pursue a solo career--
Dennis:
Perfect right? lonny who gave stacee and arsenal their start?
Lonny:
We did so?
Dennis:
So? what if we hosted their last gig…ever.
Lonny:
The last arsenal show here?!
Dennis:
Tell that wouldn't generate an adequate tax revenue.
Plus, stacee still owes me from that hotel incident with the cool whip and the baby llama.
Lonny:
Love it.
Dennis:
I just hope it's enough.
Lonny:
It's gotta be i mean the mayor isn't a total money grubbing whore. wink.
Regina:
Mayor, you're not thinking clearly.
Hertz:
Mayor, take ze money unt…
Hertz/ ensemble:
Rid this city!
Regina:
No!
Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble
Rid this city of rock and roll!
Regina:
Not this city
Mayor:
Regina, you're fired.
Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble:
We'll rid this city of rock and roll!!
Regina:
You're not gonna get away with this!
Lonny:
I can't believe you still have his number.
Dennis:
Stacee? it's denbo.
Stacee jaxx:
Who?
Dennis:
Dennis, dennis dupree. listen,
How would you like to do your "arsenal" farewell show here at "the bourbon?"
Stacee jaxx:
Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in portland. so ah…
Dennis:
I understand that. but just imagine for a second your last gig in a place that started it all.
A lot of press on something like that.
Stacee jaxx:
Yeah it sounds cool but ah…
Dennis:
And of course, we'd put your name above the band. stacee jaxx and arsenal.
One night only. right before a solo album…which, just between you and me, i'm so
Glad you're doing. you know what i always used to say about you.
Stacee jaxx:
What?
Dennis:
Well, you're a jet fuel genius
You can solve the world's problems
Without even tryin'
Stacee jaxx:
It's true.
I have dozens of friends
And the fun never ends
That is, as long as i'm buyin'
Is it any wonder i'm not the president?
Dennis:
I'd vote for you, stacee.
Stacee jaxx:
Is it any wonder i'm null and void?
Dennis:
I don't even know what that means.
Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ franz/ hertz/ ensemble:
Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands
Dennis:
And it's tickin' away
Lonny/ dennis/ drew:
