Tomorrow Is Tonight Lyrics > Gutenberg! The Musical!

[BUD, spoken]
Elderly patrons may wish to turn down their hearing devices

[DOUG, spoken]
In an actual production
This song would?include?electric guitars...
And lasers

[BUD, spoken]
Scene?eight
The rooftops of Schlimmer
Gutenberg stands, straddling?a chimney
Smoke billows up around his face

[DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)]
When I got out?of?bed?today
History was a?lot more boring
Then?I thought in a different way
Now the bird of inspiration’s soaring
Look at these hands!
They’re attached to a normal man
A normal man who prob’ly changed your world
Tomorrow is tonight
It’s a history and future fight
Tomorrow is tonight

(no longer in character)

Monk rises from an adjacent chimney
He is surrounded by fire and bats!

[BUD (as Monk)]
Today, I killed the future
Now my badness knows no bounds
My plan unfurled
To trick that girl
Now the bird of inspiration’s on the ground

(spoken)

Splat! Ha!

(singing)

I crushed his dream!
You don’t change the world with a dumb machine!
At least not while this Monk is still in town
Tomorrow is tonight
It’s a history and future fight
Tomorrow is tonight

(no longer in character)
Helvetica is also... on a roof

[DOUG (as Helvetica)]
I feel like a bird
A bird who just destroyed a printing press
A bird who’s in some serious distress
I don’t have wings
That is bad for flying things

[BUD (as Monk)]
Monk’s in command!

[DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)]
Don’t say can’t when you could say can!

[BOTH (as Johan Gutenberg and Monk)]
You only get one chance to be a star!
Tomorrow is tonight
It’s a future fight

[DOUG (as Johan Gutenberg)]
Tomorrow

[BUD (as Monk)]
Tomorrow
[BOTH (as Johan Gutenberg and Monk)]
Tomorrow is tonight

[DOUG (as Helvetica)]
Tomorrow is...

(spoken)

What have I done?

[BOTH, spoken]
Intermission!
