One way of conceptualizing yourself is that you're one speck of dust among seven billion
And when you conceptualize yourself that way you might think, well what difference does it make what I say or do?
And that's actually quite convenient for you because if it doesn't matter
What you say or do then you don't have any responsibility and you can do whatever you want
The price you pay for that is a bit of nihilism but if you don't have to shoulder any responsibility that's a small price to pay
The other way of looking at it then this is actually the accurate way of looking at it is that you’re in a network
You're a note in the network
You can do a little bit of arithmetic very rapidly and just figure out how powerful you are
You know a 1.000 people (You know a 1.000 people)
They know a 1.000 people (They know a 1.000 people)
That means that you're one person away from a million people and two persons away from a billion people
And you’re the center of that network and now the way networks work is that the information propagates in a network manner
So, don't underestimate the power of your speech
Don't underestimate the power of truth
There's nothing more powerful

You know one of the things that
Revolutionary movements have to offer young people is a sense of romantic adventure
I mean, if you're working at 7-Eleven in a dead-end job
And you're offered an adventure, the chance to demonstrate
Dramatically for a messianic cause
Especially if you're young, that's gonna call to something deep inside you, and excite you
Because everyone needs a higher purpose
And that belonging can be addressed by romantically inclined ideologues, but there are better ways of addressing that longing
I believe there's tremendous adventure in doing something like telling the truth
[Chorus]
There's tremendous adventure in doing something like telling the truth (Telling the truth)
There's tremendous adventure in doing something like telling the truth (Telling the truth)
There's tremendous adventure in doing something like telling the truth (Telling the truth)
There's tremendous adventure in doing something like telling the truth (Telling the truth)

Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through
This is another chapter in the book
This is another race that you have planned
Don't give the vanished days a backward look
Start where you stand, start where you stand
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through
This is another chapter in the book
This is another race that you have planned
Don't give the vanished days a backward look
Start where you stand, start where you stand
[Chorus]
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it
Work day and night for it
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it
Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
Hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it
If gladly you'll sweat for it
Fret for it, Plan for it
Lose all your terror of God or man for it
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it
Work day and night for it
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it
Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
Hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it
If gladly you'll sweat for it
Fret for it, Plan for it
Lose all your terror of God or man for it
