Write what you know, so they say All I know is I don't know what to write Or the right way to write it This is big, lady, don't screw it up This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing Poor little kids versus rich greedy sourpusses Ha! It's a cinch! It could practically write itself And let's pray it does, 'cause as I may have mentioned I have no clue what I'm doing Am I insane? This is what I've been waiting for Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors "A girl! It's a girl! How the hell? Is that even legal? Look, just go and get her!" Not only that, there's a story behind the story Thousands of children exploited, invisible Speak up, take a stand And there's someone to write about it That's how things get better Give life's little guys some ink and when it dries Just watch what happens Those kids will live and breathe right on the page And once they're center stage You watch what happens And who's there with her camera and her pen As boys turn into men? They'll storm the gates and then Just watch what happens when they do! Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic Plainspoken, know-nothing, skirt-chasing Cocky little son of a- Lie down with dogs and you wake up with a Raise and a promotion So, he's a flirt A complete egomaniac The fact is he's also the face of the strike, what a face Face the fact, that's a face that could save us all From sinking in the ocean Like someone said, power tends to corrupt And absolute power, wait, wait! Corrupts absolutely! That is genius! But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as that Six months from never Just look around at the world we're inheriting And think of the one we'll create Their mistake is they got old! That is not a mistake we'll be making, no sir We'll stay young forever! Give those kids and me the brand new century And watch what happens It's David and Goliath, do or die, the fight is on And I can't watch what happens But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in It can't be any worse than how it's been And it just so happens that we just might win! So whatever happens Let's begin!
