2009 Broadway Rock Of Ages the Musical - We Built This City/ Too Much Time On My Hands Lyrics
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: Tickin’ away from me!!
