The Great Depression Lyrics

(Feat. Cosmic Crusader, Atun Sen Geb & Rasul Allah)

[Quotes from Network - 1976]
"I don't have to tell you things are bad.
Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression.
Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust,
shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
Punks are running wild in the street
and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,
and there's no end to it."

"We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat,
and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us
that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three 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."

"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, g******it!
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
