Original Broadway Cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Truth Beauty Freedom Love
[TOULOUSE, spoken]
Glory awaits, Christian. This is Montmartre. It is a hard life we live, but we have our honor

(sung)

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no postcode envy
But everybody's like

[TOULOUSE and SANTIAGO]
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Steam ships, islands, tiger's on a gold leash
We don't care;

[TOULOUSE]
We're not caught up in your love affair

[TOULOUSE (CHRISTIAN and SANTIAGO)]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
(spoken)
Now, tell me, Christian, what do we believe in?

[CHRISTIAN]
Freedom, beauty, truth, and love
Freedom, beauty, truth, and love

[SANTIAGO]
You can bump and grind
See it's good for your mind
You can twist and shout
Let it all hang out

[CHRISTIAN, TOULOUSE and SANTIAGO]
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution

[CHRISTIAN]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

[TOULOUSE and SANTIAGO (CHRISTIAN)]
And we'll never be royals (Tonight)
It don't run in our blood (We are young)
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun (Never seen a diamond in the flesh)

[CHRISTIAN (TOULOUSE and SANTIAGO)]
Tonight (Won't fool the children of the revolution)
We are young (No, you won't fool the children of the revolution)
Tonight (No, you won't fool the children of the revolution)

[ALL]
We are freedom, beauty, truth and love
