Watch What Happens

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 sour pusses

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

Plain-spoken, 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 ego manic

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
