letra de rising - cast of untitled musical

[tai]
h-llo, is anybody home?
i’m so sorry to be calling this late at night
but i saw that you turned on your light
today i just got off my flight
so let me give you some insight

i had an apartment under my name
it was meant to be endgame
but when i arrived they raised the price of the stay
what more do i need to say?
oh god, well i guess i should elaborate

i saw your roommate ad online
saw that your interests were similar to mine
we’re both young artists trying to get somewhere
hey, everything’s cheaper when you share

oh, i’m so sorry, i should really go
if you’re in there i apologise for the show

[sebastian]
h-llo

[tai]
oh god, i’m sorry, i was just going
i came here without really knowing
what to do
see i’m new
d-mn, i should’ve seen this through
i’m not from here, i’m sorry, i don’t mean to sound defensive
but how do you survive when everything’s this expensive?

[sebastian]
i don’t

[tai]
you don’t?

[sebastian]
would you like to come in?

[tai]
oh, i shouldn’t
no i won’t

[sebastian]
come on
considering where you’ve been
i never found that house share if you want to consider
didn’t find anybody not one bidder

[tai]
actually that’s why i came
i had an apartment under my name

[sebastian]
i know, i heard from down the hall
i’m sebastian by the way
well come on in then, don’t stall
oh i should’ve prepared you
did i mention it’s small?

[tai]
no, i love it!
it’s perfect!
it’s great!
i’m not living solo at this rate
i saw the monthly rent online
here’s the share, it’s all mine, this is all the fare
i’ll get next months when i find my first performing job
what’s up? don’t stare!

[sebastian]
kid, you gotta get a job somewhere

[tai]
i’m the same age as you, and don’t you doubt
i’ll get a good agent and they’ll scout, i have it all figured out!

[sebastian]
well just incase the basket breaks
i know a job that you could take
i work in a bar down in chinatown
if i give them my word they’ll take you and you can’t go down

[tai]
well thank you very much but i know i’ll be okay!

[sebastian]
well let me tell you about new york and the amount you have to pay
most of the things you buy are taxed but you’re here so there’s no point of looking back
oh dear, what else? oh yes!
landlords try to raise the rent a lot
they’re the best, what’s the rest? they love to put you to the test
i’ve been living uptown all my life so here’s my theory
they’re trying to get rid of us so they make us weary

[tai]
who? what? when? how?

[sebastian]
immigrants, the people downtown don’t like us at all
say we’re not in the place we should be did you know they want to build a wall?
but i refuse to fall
but when all comes to all

[chorus] [sebastian]
everything is rising
everything you could imagine
people in the city, tax, rent, pay, food, drink, temperature
all of it is rising everyday
everything is rising
everything single thing is rising
and do you know what we’re gonna do?

[tai]
die

[sebastian]
me and you
we’ve gotta rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the –

[tai]
rising?

[sebastian]
let me tell you about your chosen career choice
people keep on flooding in from almost everywhere
because they think, no they swear
that performing or acting is their calling
think that with a life here they’ll never be falling
but they’re wrong and find themselves confused
they blame it on others because they feel used
because when a half a million people show up at an audition
unfortunately they can’t hire everyone because of certain conditions
i don’t doubt that your amazing, i really don’t!
but they’re amazing too – i really don’t want to sink you boat
but you just got to give it some time
random words won’t suddenly start to rhyme
i don’t have enough money to pay rent in advance i can’t wait around
but you can always go even more uptown
do you understand what i’m saying?
unless you want to rob

[tai]
i really have to get a job

[chorus] [both]
everything is rising
everything you could imagine
people in the city, tax, rent, pay, food, drink, temperature
all of it is rising everyday
everything is rising
everything single thing is rising
and do you know what we’re gonna do?

me and you
we’ve gotta rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising

everything is rising
everything you could imagine
people in the city, tax, rent, pay, food, drink, temperature
all of it is rising everyday
everything is rising
everything single thing is rising
and do you know what we’re gonna do?

me and you
we’ve gotta rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
rise up against the rising
