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 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!
