Looking at the Sky

If you are invested enough into Urine Town’s lore, you may have noticed that we have banned religion. And, naturally anyone caught practicing religion, especially a filthy Abrahamic religion, will be boxed and shipped off to Urinetown.

But you knew that already.

In order to become a UGC staff member, you must be an atheist. The only god that the UGC must worship is Mr. Caldwell B Cladwell. With that being said, the Rebels who didn’t magically, and shall I say, conveniently, disappear after the October Revolution, have attempted to fill the void.

They aptly coined it Looking at the Sky

Yeah, it’s partially another rain dance. Look, it’s not me who writes these. It’s Mark Hollmann! Blame him

Off in the distance there's a beautiful horizon
Gleaming and radiant, it's what I'll keep my eyes on
As the world turns to face the sun and start another day
It suddenly occurs to me that maybe we can find another way

Look at the sky
Full of hope and promise
It's a shining ideal
How I reel when I look at the sky

Daily we make them pay their nickels, dimes, and quarters
Daily we break them 'cause we have to follow orders
And we keep filling moneybags with broken lives and dreams
But what's it for? I can't ignore
These black immoral profit-making schemes

Look at the sky
High above this madness!
Here below feel our shame!
It must stop in the name of the sky! -Bobby Strong

The fee is the law, Bobby Strong. -Penny, spoken

And what if there was a new law in town, Ms. Pennywise? A new law that didn't come from any voting process or elected body or or process of judicial review, but a brand new law that came from an organ. That's right, a muscular, blood-pumping organ. Like this one. Right here,

Can't you see it, Ms. Pennywise? Well, if this one's too small for you, why not try this one on for size? -Bobby, spoken

It's...it's blinding me! -Penny, spoken

Look at the sky!
There's a great big heart there!
There's a heart in the sky
There just is, don't ask why, it's the sky! -Bobby

The fee is the law, Bobby Strong. -Penny, spoken

I don't think so. C'mon, Ma. This one's on the house. For everyone!
Forever! -Bobby, spoken

Hooray! -Rebels, spoken

Your heart knows all things great and true -Soupy Sue

The things mere brains can never know -Tiny Tom

Your heart points to the great big blue -Josephine Strong

Where the people's allegiance must go! -Rebels

Look at the sky!
That's our inspiration!
We can win if we try
We begin when we look at the sky! -Bobby & Rebels

In the sky! -Bobby

In the sky! -Rebels
