I dont have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. Its a depression. Everybodys out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickels worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and theres no one anywhere that seems to know what to do with us. We know the air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if thats the way its supposed to be. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. Theyre crazy. Its like everything everywhere is going crazy so we dont go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world were 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 TV, and my steel belted radials and I wont say anything. Well Im not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad. I dont want you to protest. I dont want you to riot. I dont want you to write to your congressman because I wouldnt know what to tell you to write. I dont know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crying in the streets. All I know is first youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im a human being, God Dammit! My life has value! So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, Im as mad as hell, and Im not going to take this anymore! I want you to get up right now. Get up. Go to your windows, open your windows, and stick your head out, and yell, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore! Things have got to change my friends. Youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore! Then well figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open your window, stick your head out and yell, Im as mad as hell and Im not going to take this anymore! [1976] youtube/watch?v=1KvZI8BsSxw
