Go After The Dragon

A Narkiewicz & Jordan Peterson

This is a dream my five-year-old nephew had
Now you gotta get the context to this dream, right?
A year after this dream
Parents were divorced, so there were dragons in the house
(Dragons in the house)
He was about four at this time
And he was running around the house with this little plastic knight helmet on, and sword, and zipping around killing things with it
Doing this all the time
And even when he went to sleep at night
He put the sword by his yellow knight hеlmet on his pillow
Now every night, or еvery second night, or every third night for six months, he'd been waking up screaming
So, I was there one night when he woke up screaming next morning, I said, "Well, did you dream anything?" and so he launched into this story
He said he was in this field and these little creatures
Like dwarves were coming up to him
And they didn't have any arms
They just had legs
They had big beaks
And they were covered with hair and grease
And on top of their head was a cross
And there's lots and lots of these dwarfs
And they were jumping on with their beaks biting him
We all looked at him and thought
"Well, it's no wonder you're waking up screaming, right?
I mean, you know, that doesn't sound so good."
And then he says
"Well, wait, there's more
Like back in the distance there's a dragon."

[Chorus]
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)

And the dragon is puffing out fire and smoke
Fire and smoke
Fire, fire, and smoke
And every time he puffs out fire and smoke, it turns into these dwarfs
Big problem, right?
Just like the problem with the Hydra, in Greek mythology
You can cut off one head seven more appear
"What are you gonna do about these dwarfs, kill one?"
"Big deal, 10 more are coming, what can you do about that?"
In a legal trial, that would have been an inadmissible question
That's called leading the witness, because what I told him was
"Despite the horror of this situation
You maybe could do something about it."
And he said, "Ha, I take my sword, I get my dad.”
That's a good idea, right?
There's the real dad, and then there's the tradition dad, right? You might as well have your father by your side
If you're gonna go into battle
"I take my sword, I get my dad. I go to where the dragon was
I jump up on his head
I poke both of his eyes out with the sword
I go down his throat to the place where the fire comes out
I cut a piece of that box out, and I use it as a shield.”
Wow, that's unbelievable
Unbelievable that he could do that
Perfect, right?
There's no sense going after the dwarfs
Because there are thousands of them

[Chorus]
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)

What happens when you go after the dragon?
You get a piece of it, piece of its center, nature
Piece that can defend you against anything
Including other dragons
What if this was the case evolutionarily speaking
Or religiously speaking?
What if we were adapted to the world?
Now what if it's not the simple place of dead objects
That we think it is?
What if it's something a lot more alive, a lot more like a story?
What if the story is something like this?
You have absolutely everything you need
But you have to use all of it
If you run away from any of it
You don't get that piece of the dragon
If you miss even one piece, there's a chink in your armor
There's a place where you're vulnerable
If you make even one mistake you lessen yourself
If you're lessen yourself, you're gonna run away more
Not only that, when someone wants to lean on you
They're not gonna be able to lean on you
'Cause you'll just fall over
What if it was the case that we were adapted to the world? Really adapted to it
So that if we made full use of all the talents that we have
We'd be okay
But what if it wasn't the case
That if we set out consciously
To never run away from something
We know we shouldn't run away from
Then everything would be all right
Well, you can think whatever you wanna
But this is what I think
I think it's bloody amazing
That that little kid's book has all that information in it
And so you might ask yourself
"If that information isn't true…”
“How the hell did it get there?"
That’s it

[Chorus]
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)

[Chorus]
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)
You might as well go after the dragon
(You might as well go after the dragon)
Go after the dragon
(You might as well)
(Might as well)
