[00:02.73] "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!
