We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they're crazy!!! It's like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore! 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'!
It's terrible feeling helpless
I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!
I'M MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!
