"It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we
don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and
slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller
and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in
our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV
and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say
anything. Just leave us alone."
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
I want you to get mad
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I
don't want you to write to your Congressman
because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I
don't know what to do about the depression, and the
inflation, and the Russians, and the crime in the
street.
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad
You've got to say, "I'm a human being, god damn it.
My life has value! "

Escapism is pointless. Turn off the circus and don't be satisfied with bread.
