[00:30.208]Morning!
[00:31.192]Oh, right. Another interview?
[00:33.232]Millionth time's the charm
[00:35.792]
[00:35.813]Growing up in Jersey City
[00:38.842]The wrong side of the Hudson
[00:41.821]I wished upon the Manhattan skyline
[00:47.006]Thought I'd show up and land a job at The Times or The Observer
[00:53.150]A writer!
[00:54.148]With a big city byline
[00:57.009]And you will be!
[00:57.986]Well I'm exhausted after months of pounding pavement
[01:03.784]But fingers crossed, you'll nail this interview at ten
[01:08.089]Sure!
[01:09.374]'Cause when the facts say, "Andy Sachs move back to Jersey"
[01:14.014]Do you?
[01:14.774]No!
[01:15.808]I decide to be irrationally confident and try again!
[01:20.623]Damn straight!
[01:21.400]
[01:21.421]I'm ready to work! Today could be my day
[01:25.269]That's the spirit, baby!
[01:26.941]So The New Yorker doesn't want me? That's okay!
[01:30.868]Screw them!
[01:32.316]As soon as I get one good shot, I'd show this city
[01:38.329]I mean business!
[01:44.019]
[01:44.040]I mean business, oh, yeah
[01:47.070]I mean business, yes, I do
[01:49.926]I mean business
[01:51.857]New York City
[01:55.554]And then you're takin' the train
[01:58.570]To my fifteenth interview
[02:00.734]Hey
[02:01.360]I mean business
[02:02.995]Yup!
[02:03.288]And I'm ready to work
[02:09.560]And then I'll work
[02:11.033]My way back to you
[02:14.360]Hey, good luck!
[02:18.577]
[02:18.598]I wanna write the kind of stories that define a generation
[02:24.099]I know someday I'll find my voice, I just need some validation
[02:30.496]When can I show them how good I am?
[02:33.326]How many doors can a city slam?
[02:36.104]Somebody, please, take a chance on me
[02:38.861]I'm no one today
[02:40.306]I'm no one today
[02:41.416]Tomorrow - wait and see
[02:49.254]
[02:49.275]I wanna break headlines
[02:49.673]I mean business, oh, yeah
[02:52.080]Like all my literary heroes
[02:52.791]I mean business, yes, I do
[02:55.032]I'm finally in it
[02:55.649]Yes, I'm in it
[02:57.606]New York City!
[03:00.717]I know I got so much to say
[03:01.906]Ooh, perfect, flawless
[03:04.257]How do I let my voice come through?
[03:04.737]Ooh, cutthroat, ruthless
[03:06.885]I'm ambitious and I'm ready
[03:12.931]To work
[03:13.599]
[03:13.620]I grew up wishing on the skyline
[03:15.362]Oh, but I
[03:16.397]Well, now I'm here
[03:17.226]And I got work to do
[03:19.998]In New York City
[03:23.351]Ooh, ah
[03:26.104]I got work to do!
