[00:38.82] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Well... I don't like the way the country's ran, don't you know, and, erm... |
[00:45.19] | That's pretty much what I was expressing in my poem. |
[00:48.68] | The governm, the American government - they're sneaky, they're very deceitful, they're the liars, they're cheats, they're rip-offs. |
[00:58.30] | I mean, the American government is one systematic government that nobody can trust. |

[01:11.65] | Interviewer: How long have you been writing for? |
[01:13.50] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Since I was four. |
[01:17.40] | Interviewer: Do you do this sort of thing a lot, like, open-mic kinda questions? |
[01:20.15] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Oh,I love open-mics, I love coming here to do open-mics, absolutely. |
[01:24.50] | Interviewer: What kind of reactions do you usually get? |
[01:28.45] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Usually, people are... are pretty much in agreement with what I'm saying. |
[01:37.76] | Interviewer: We overheard you before talking about... you went to court today for a speeding ticket? |
[01:42.42] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: That's accurate. |
[01:43.65] | Interviewer: Right. Do you wanna tell us that story? |
[01:45.40] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes,absolutely, I wouldn't mind telling you the story. |
[01:49.45] | Erm... I went to court today for a speeding ticket, and I told the judge, erm... |
[01:56.90] | "Let me tell you something. “ |
[01:58.65] | And you listen and you listen good, I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only, I don't repeat myself for nobody," I said. |
[02:04.98] | I says "I'm here to pay a speeding ticket, not to listen to your lectures and hear you run your mouth for an hour." |
[02:12.85] | I says "I'm here to pay off my speeding ticket ...and I'm here to get my fines out of the way and get the fuck to work." |
[02:19.70] | The judge says "You can't talk like that in my courtroom, you're in contempt of court." |
[02:23.15] | Then I said... I told the judge, "If that's the best you can do, I feel sorry for you." |
[02:30.32] | I said "Why don't you just shut your fucking mouth for once and listen." |
[02:32.90] | I said "I'm not gonna take any shit." |
[02:35.20] | I said "I'm gonna pay my speeding ticket like I said." |
[02:38.00] | I walked up to the god damn judge and I hand him my 25 dollars and I says "Here's my money, now I am leaving." |
[02:44.50] | And I left it at that. |
[02:47.20] | I, before I left, I turned around and told the judge |
[02:50.85] | "I'm here to state who I am and be honest with you." “ |
[02:53.84] | I said "If they thought I was dangerous on the road like you're trying to accuse me of, wouldn't they have taken my license when I first got it? |
[03:02.50] | Yes they would." |
[03:03.60] | And the judge says "Yeah, you have a point," |
[03:05.40] | He goes "You don't need to get loud," |
[03:06.45] | I says "Don't get loud?" |
[03:07.85] | I says "I've got every right to get loud." |
[03:10.60] | I says "You can't do a god damn thing about it, because I'm expressing myself in your court, and there is nothing you can do about it. |
[03:17.15] | You think you're god because you have a robe and you can put people up the goddamn river for 20 years? Well you're not." “ |

[03:27.90] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes I did... |
[03:32.23] | I don't like the judicial system, I don't like the government system, I don't like the police, I don't like anything to do with this country's government. |
[03:39.85] | I just don't like it, because... they're sneaky, like I said - they're deceitful, they're lying, they're cheats, they rip people off. |
[03:49.00] | That's the American government for you. |
[03:50.70] | America is a third world country, and people don't recognise it... |
[03:54.12] | And I think that that's pretty god damn sad, that they don't recognise their own country as a third world, third rate, third class slum. |
[04:19.60] | |
[08:08.20] | Interviewer: Well... Do you have any weapons? |
[08:11.12] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes,I do. |
[08:13.15] | I own a high-powered assault rifle, |

[08:27.71] | And, erm...I own an M16 fully automatic ground assault rifle... |
[08:41.25] | Interviewer: Do you think things are gonna get better before they get worse? |
[08:44.51] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: No way. Things are just gonna get worse and keep on getting worse. |
[08:48.62] | Like I said, America's a third world country as it is and... and we're just basically in a hopeless situation as it stands. |
[08:56.35] | Interviewer: What do you think this country's gonna looklike in the year 2003? |
[09:01.75] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Y'know, I'll tell you the truth - nothing against you guys, but I don't wanna answer that question because... |
[09:06.45] | I haven't even got a mind that's that...that inhumane. |
[09:13.40] | Interviewer: Are you ready for what's coming? |
[09:16.90] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Ready as I'll ever be. |
[09:21.10] | Interviewer: Most people aren't. |
[09:24.50] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: There's a little saying... Dates back for generations... |
[09:29.60] | Interviewer: Go on... |
[09:31.10] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Be prepared for anything at any time from anybody, don't take no shit, always stand your ground. |
[09:37.00] | People wanna come up to me and run their mouth - guess what? |
[09:39.35] | I'll throw them through the fucking window... I won't think a thing of it. |
[09:47.52] | Interviewer: Would you mind reciting your poem for us? |
[09:51.05] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Not at all, I don't see why... I don't see why I couldn't. |
[09:54.55] | There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind |
[09:57.12] | It's not state of the art, it's a serious state of the mind |
[09:59.95] | The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite |
[10:01.97] | A menace to society, a social disease |
[10:04.60] | To brainwash the mind is a social disorder |
[10:07.20] | The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order |
[10:09.40] | Watching beginnings of social decay |
[10:11.28] | Gloating and sneering at life's disarray |
[10:13.10] | Eating away at your own self esteem |
[10:14.70] | Pouncing on every word that you might be saying |
[10:17.00] | To attack someone's mind is a social disorder |
[10:19.94] | The constitution, the government, martial law order |
[10:23.15] | Superficially smiling a shake of the hand |
[10:25.40] | As soon as your back is turned treason is planned |
[10:27.68] | When every good thing's laid to rest |
[10:29.41] | By the governments hate, by the constitution and their lies |
[10:33.09] | And every time you think you're safe |
[10:34.73] | And when you go to turn away |
[10:35.90] | You know they're sharpening all their knives |
[10:37.63] | All in your mind |
[10:38.38] | All in your head |
[10:39.15] | Try to relate it |
[10:39.90] | All in your mind |
[10:40.60] | All in your head |
[10:41.18] | Try to escape it |
[10:41.80] | Without a conscience they destroy |
[10:43.60] | And that's a thing that they enjoy |
[10:44.80] | They're a sickness that's in all of our minds |
[10:46.45] | They want to sink the ship and leave |
[10:48.26] | The way they laugh at you and me |
[10:49.36] | You know it happens all the time |
[10:50.80] | But it only happens in your mind |
[10:52.62] | The rats in the cellar you know who you are... |
[10:54.60] | Or do you? |
[10:55.60] | Watching beginnings of social decay... |

[08:56.35] | Interviewer: What do you think this country' s gonna looklike in the year 2003? |
[09:01.75] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Y' know, I' ll tell you the truth nothing against you guys, but I don' t wanna answer that question because... |
[09:06.45] | I haven' t even got a mind that' s that... that inhumane. |
[09:13.40] | Interviewer: Are you ready for what' s coming? |
[09:16.90] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Ready as I' ll ever be. |
[09:21.10] | Interviewer: Most people aren' t. |

[09:29.60] | Interviewer: Go on... |

[09:39.35] | I' ll throw them through the fucking window... I won' t think a thing of it. |
[09:47.52] | Interviewer: Would you mind reciting your poem for us? |
[09:51.05] | Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Not at all, I don' t see why... I don' t see why I couldn' t. |
[09:54.55] | There' s an evil virus that' s threatening mankind |
[09:57.12] | It' s not state of the art, it' s a serious state of the mind |
[09:59.95] | The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite |
[10:01.97] | A menace to society, a social disease |
[10:04.60] | To brainwash the mind is a social disorder |
[10:07.20] | The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order |
[10:09.40] | Watching beginnings of social decay |
[10:11.28] | Gloating and sneering at life' s disarray |
[10:13.10] | Eating away at your own self esteem |
[10:14.70] | Pouncing on every word that you might be saying |
[10:17.00] | To attack someone' s mind is a social disorder |
[10:19.94] | The constitution, the government, martial law order |
[10:23.15] | Superficially smiling a shake of the hand |
[10:25.40] | As soon as your back is turned treason is planned |
[10:27.68] | When every good thing' s laid to rest |
[10:29.41] | By the governments hate, by the constitution and their lies |
[10:33.09] | And every time you think you' re safe |
[10:34.73] | And when you go to turn away |
[10:35.90] | You know they' re sharpening all their knives |
[10:37.63] | All in your mind |
[10:38.38] | All in your head |
[10:39.15] | Try to relate it |
[10:39.90] | All in your mind |
[10:40.60] | All in your head |
[10:41.18] | Try to escape it |
[10:41.80] | Without a conscience they destroy |
[10:43.60] | And that' s a thing that they enjoy |
[10:44.80] | They' re a sickness that' s in all of our minds |
[10:46.45] | They want to sink the ship and leave |
[10:48.26] | The way they laugh at you and me |
[10:49.36] | You know it happens all the time |
[10:50.80] | But it only happens in your mind |
[10:52.62] | The rats in the cellar you know who you are... |
[10:54.60] | Or do you? |
[10:55.60] | Watching beginnings of social decay... |
[10:58.46] | Interviewer: Thank you for your time. |
