A/N: I don't own any characters or creative ideas associated with Rent or X-Men Evolution. I did not write the song "La Vie Boheme" However I highly recommend it to anyone who is unfamiliar with it (Caution: original lyrics have mature rating) Original lyrics can be found by searching "Rent" "La Vie Boheme" "lyrics" on Google. The line of asterisks indicate where I removed the end of "La Vie Boheme" and tacked on the end of "La Vie Boheme Reprise" 'cause I liked it better.

La Vie Mutant

ALL
La vie mutant
La vie mutant
La vie mutant
La vie mutant


Professor X

I had an inspiration
Filling the mansion, recruiting kids with mutations
They need more training
To control themselves,
Their going against the grain,
I'm going insane
Going mad


The X-Men
To getting detention, 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 training, our time,
Each day in the danger room
To doom, to no elbow room
To powers - to choice
To a "normal" life
To mutant ball
To being an us, for once, instead of a them


ALL

La vie mutant
La vie mutant


Kurt

Is the X-jet ready to go?


Rogue

It is, Kurt


Kurt

I'd better check it just in case
Don't give me that face

(Kurt smacks Rogue's ass as she exits. Logan reacts)


Logan

Ahhemm


Kurt

Hey Mister - she's my sister


Scott
So that's five multiples, four explosive children
Three people who are blue, two telepathists
And one clone with Logan's claws


Kitty

Ugh!


Rogue

Way too many


Kitty

In, like, one big house


Professor X

That's nineteen mutants in all
Is that it here?


ALL
We're all clear!


The new mutants

To causing destruction where ever we may go
To outside, to inside, to blasting through the walls
To fire, to lasers, to killing Storm's flowers
To destroying the mansion using our powers


Tabitha and Bobby
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation


Ray

Mucho demolition


Kitty and Amara
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new

To explosions


Bobby, Roberto, Sam, and Tabitha

To anything taboo

To the mall

To blow off Auntie Em

And wash the uniforms before you pack


Scott

Yes, Jean


Jean

Well - hurry back

(Jean and Scott kiss)


Logan

Watch it bub!


Jean

We're close

(Lance jumps on top of Kitty, who's on the table. They kiss)


Lance and Kitty
We're closer!


The X-men
Brotherhood, Acolytes, homo sapiens,
Morlocks,our high school classmates,Principle Kelly

To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, to extreme
To sentinels – We took one out, On T.V.,
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game

To yellow spandex!


ALL

My genes should be,
Between God and me
To Weapon X


Professor X
Oh no... Oh no...Oh no

Forcing changes, risk, and danger
Making noise and making pleas

humans too

To me!


Jubilee and Amara
To me!


ALL
To you, and you and you, you and you
To people living with, living with,
Living with not hiding from our genes

Let he among us without sin
Be the first to condemn

La vie mutant
La vie mutant

Viva la vie mutant!
