ACT I
THINK FAST
Music & Lyrics by Christopher Meredith ©2021
My name is Jerry Cruncher and I'm gonna tell you the greatest story of love and revolution ever told. Now it all started when the rift between the wealthy and the poor, the ave's and ave not's, became so wide that they fell into a dark abyss of their own makin'. And at the same time, two men, fell into a deep love with one beautiful woman that changed the course of Paris and London forever! So listen up, and hear my tale. . . . "Two Cities".
(ERNEST DEFARGE)
IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST
NO ONE COULD FIND A WAY TO MAKE THINGS WORK
PARIS IS PERISHING, HUNGRY AND HURT
THEY TAX US TO POVERTY, WILL WE EVER LEARN.
IF THIS IS THE AGE OF WISDOM
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FOOLS
WHO ARE THE BLINDED MEN MAKING THESE RULES
GREAT BRITAIN’S FORTITUDE, GOLD IS THEIR CURSE
THE DAY IS COMING SOON
AND PEOPLE WILL RISE TO CHANGE THE PAST
(CHORUS)
THINK FAST
MAKE IT LAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT CHOOSE
WE GOTTA THINK BACK
TO THE PAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT LOSE
(ERNEST DEFARGE)
IF THIS IS THE SPRING OF HOPE
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DESPAIR
A KING AND HIS QUEEN IN DARKNESS
BLIND WITHOUT CARE
OUR WORLD IS DRY FROM GREED
POWER IS A THIRST
THIS SEASON OF DARK AND LIGHT
WILL WE EVER LEARN
(CHORUS)
WE GOTTA THINK FAST
MAKE IT LAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT CHOOSE
YEA THINK BACK
TO THE PAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT LOSE
(INSTRUMENTAL)
BEST OF THE TIMES
WORST OF THE NEWS
DARKNESS AND LIGHT
IN AN AGE OF WISE MEN AND FOOLS
BEST OF THE TIMES
IT WAS THE WORST OF THE VIEWS
HOPE AND DESPAIR
WHAT HAVE WE GOT
(CHORUS)
WE GOTTA THINK FAST
MAKE IT LAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT CHOOSE
THINK BACK
TO THE PAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT LOSE
WE GOTTA THINK FAST
MAKE IT LAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT LOSE
THINK BACK
TO THE PAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT CHOOSE
THINK FAST
