Benny:
You make fun, yet i'm the one
Attempting to do some good

In that little town of Bethlehen

La Vie Boheme 1
ALL:
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
Mark:
To days of inspiration
Playing hookey, 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
ALL:
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
