because the world is run|by The Man.

- Who?|- The Man.

Oh, you don't know The Man?

Well, he's everywhere.

In the White House, down the hall.|Miss Mullins, she's The Man.

And The Man ruined the ozone,|and he's burning down the Amazon,

and he kidnapped Shamu|and put her in a chlorine tank.

There used to be a way to stick it|to The Man. It was called rock 'n' roll.

But guess what. Oh, no.

The Man ruined that too|with a little thing called MTV!

So don't waste your time

trying to make anything cool|or pure or awesome.

The Man's just gonna call you a fat,|washed-up loser and crush your soul.

So do yourselves a favor|and just give up!

Mr. Schneebly, it's after 10.

On Tuesdays, the children|have music class now.

Right. OK. Good work, people.

We will continue with our lecture|on The Man when we return.

Have a good music class.

Why didn't anyone tell me?|You.

Can't you see|That I am not afraid

Lawrence is good at piano

He shall be rocking|In my show

Stop. That's perfect. You're perfect.|Stay right there, OK?

You. Could you come up here,|please?

- What was your name?|- Katie.

What was that big thing|you were playing today?

Cello.

This is a bass guitar.|It's exactly the same,

but instead of playing like this, you tip it|on the side, "chello", you've got a bass.

Try it on.

OK, now play this note|right here. That's a G.

OK, but let your fingers|do the rocking.

Keep that G coming all day long.

G, G, G, G, G, G

Good. Stop. Are there any drummers|in the house?

- I play percussion.|- You couldn't play anything else.

- Shut up!|- Come here, dude.

Just see if you can do what I do.|Just give it a try.

OK? Give that a try.

OK!

That's really good.|Just stay right here.

All right, OK.|Lawrence, give me a G note.

With the fifth above it.

And the middle one.|No middle one, I changed my mind.

Now go an octave below.

Now give me some rhythm.

And keep that same rhythm. Go.

Katie, remember that note, the G?
