Billy:
Now it’s up to you.
You gotta do what you gotta do
You’ve been blinded for so long
Now it’s time for you to sing your own song.
Now it’s up to you.
You gotta do what you want to do
The answer’s plain to see.
My work here’s done, so please, let me be.
Billy:
What do you want to be?
Future Girl Rat:
How do we learn to begin to be free?
Future Rat:
Will our leaders hear what we say?
Future Girl Rat:
And if they do, will they carry me away?
Billy:
Now it’s up to you.
Now it’s up to you.
Beware of what you hear and what you watch.
Of who you idolize and who you trust.
Accountability is plain to see.
Life is for livin’ in peace and harmony.
Future Rat:
Your legend’s told far and wide.
Future Girl Rat:
We can form a legion to protect our mind.
Billy:
Self-preservation is a basic drive
Future Girl Rat:
It’s not too much to want to stay alive
Billy:
Now it’s up to you.
You gotta do what you want to do
Future Rat:
We’ll build a world wide organization
Crowd:
What will it be?
Billy:
Not divided into little nations.
Crowd:
Will we be free?
Future Girl Rat:
If you care about your fellow man
Sisters and brothers take them by the hand.
Billy:
Now it’s up to you.
Now it’s up to you.
Future Girl Rat:
Beware of what you feel and what you want
Of who you idolize and who you trust.
Future Girl Rat:
Accountability is plain to see.
Billy:
Life is for livin’ in peace and harmony.
