[01:03.630] The world came crushing down
[01:12.882] The frist time I felt nothing
[01:22.626] I felt nothing
[01:33.134] "I don't have to tell you things are bad.
[01:35.131] Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression.
[01:38.882] Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
[01:43.131] The dollar buys a nickel's worth,
[01:45.128] Banks are going bust,
[01:46.538] Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
[01:48.748] Punks are running wild in the street.
[01:50.503] And there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,
[01:52.243] And there's no end to it.
[02:03.995] We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat,
[02:08.999] And we sit watching our TV's
[02:10.255] While some local newscasters tell us that
[02:11.752] Today we had fifteen homicides
[02:14.003] And sixty-three violent crimes,
[02:15.747] As if that's the way it's supposed to be.
[02:17.499] We know things are bad, worse than bad.
[02:20.252] They're crazy.
[02:21.250] It's like everything everywhere is going crazy,
[02:23.002] So we don't go out anymore.
[02:24.745] We sit in the house,
[02:25.755] And slowly the world we are living is getting smaller,
[02:28.007] And all we say is,
[02:28.751] 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms,
[02:31.002] Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials
[02:34.754] And I won't say anything.
[02:36.006] Just leave us alone.'
[02:37.250] Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
[02:39.704] I want you to get mad!
[02:47.705] I don't want you to protest.
[02:48.948] I don't want you to riot.
[02:49.701] I don't want you to write to your congressman.
[02:51.456] Because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
[02:52.916] I don't know what to do about the depression.
[02:53.672] And the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
[02:56.923] All I know is that frist
[02:59.165] You've got to get mad.
[03:00.417] You've got to say,
[03:01.416] 'I'm a human being, God damn it!
[03:03.670] My life has value!' "
[04:10.677] "So I want you to get up now.
[04:13.926] I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
[04:17.421] I want you to get up right now and go to the window.
[04:20.674] Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
[04:24.180] 'I'm as mad as hell,
[04:25.931] And I'm not going to take this anymore!' "
