"Write what you know" |
| [00:03.60] |
So they say, |
| [00:04.36] |
all I know is |
| [00:05.22] |
I don't know |
| [00:05.88] |
What to write |
| [00:06.48] |
Or the right way to write it |
| [00:07.94] |
This is big, |
| [00:08.60] |
lady, don't screw it up |
| [00:09.86] |
This is not some little |
| [00:10.97] |
vaudeville I'm reviewing |
| [00:13.74] |
Poor little kids |
| [00:14.90] |
versus rich greedy sour pusses |
| [00:16.61] |
Ha! It's a cinch! |
| [00:17.61] |
It could practically write itself-- |
| [00:19.13] |
And let's pray it does, |
| [00:20.54] |
Cause as I may have mentioned |
| [00:21.74] |
I have no clue what I'm doing |
| [00:24.82] |
Am I insane? |
| [00:25.88] |
This is what I've been waiting for |
| [00:27.48] |
Well that, |
| [00:28.08] |
Plus the screaming of ten angry editors |
| [00:30.34] |
A girl? It's a girl! |
| [00:31.45] |
How the hell? Is that even legal? |
| [00:33.06] |
Look, just go and get her! |
| [00:35.82] |
Not only that, |
| [00:36.92] |
There's a story behind the story: |
| [00:38.63] |
Thousands of children, |
| [00:39.94] |
Exploited, invisible |
| [00:41.30] |
Speak up, take a stand, |
| [00:42.63] |
And there's someone to write about it |
| [00:44.27] |
That's how things get better |
| [00:47.07] |
Give life's little guys some ink, |
| [00:50.35] |
And when it dries |
| [00:52.35] |
Just watch what happens |
| [00:56.42] |
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page |
| [01:00.79] |
And once they're center stage, |
| [01:03.34] |
You watch what happens |
| [01:07.72] |
And who's there with her camera and her pen |
| [01:11.68] |
As boys turn into men |
| [01:14.39] |
They'll storm the gates |
| [01:16.51] |
And then just watch what happens when they do |
| [01:25.95] |
Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic- |
| [01:28.71] |
Plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, |
| [01:30.81] |
Cocky little son of a- |
| [01:32.22] |
Lie down with dogs |
| [01:33.43] |
And you wake up with |
| [01:34.32] |
A raise and a promotion |
| [01:36.94] |
So, he's a flirt |
| [01:38.09] |
A complete ego maniac |
| [01:39.66] |
The fact is |
| [01:40.50] |
He's also the face of the strike- |
| [01:42.27] |
What a face- |
| [01:42.97] |
Face the facts, |
| [01:43.68] |
That's a face that could save us all from |
| [01:45.34] |
Sinking in the ocean |
| [01:48.01] |
Like someone said, |
| [01:49.12] |
"Power tends to corrupt" |
| [01:50.59] |
And absolute power, wait! |
| [01:52.08] |
Wait, corrupts!? |
| [01:52.94] |
Absolutely, that is genius! |
| [01:54.34] |
But give me some time, |
| [01:55.54] |
I'll be twice as good as |
| [01:56.60] |
That six months from never |
| [01:59.21] |
Just look around at the world we're inheriting |
| [02:01.71] |
And think of the one we'll create |
| [02:03.98] |
Their mistake is they got old, |
| [02:05.19] |
That is not a mistake we'll be making |
| [02:07.29] |
No sir, |
| [02:07.65] |
We'll stay young forever! |
| [02:10.30] |
Give those kids and me |
| [02:12.83] |
The brand new century |
| [02:15.58] |
And watch what happens |
| [02:19.82] |
It's David and Goliath, |
| [02:22.34] |
Do or die |
| [02:23.96] |
The fight is on |
| [02:25.91] |
And I can't watch what happens |
| [02:30.73] |
But all I know is nothing happens |
| [02:34.69] |
If you just give in |
| [02:37.80] |
It can't be any worse |
| [02:40.52] |
Than how it's been |
| [02:43.04] |
And it just so happens |
| [02:45.81] |
That we just might win |
| [02:48.52] |
So whatever happens! |
| [02:54.90] |
Let's begin! |
