Jappe - Get Mad lyrics

We know the air is unfit to breathe
And our food is unfit to eat
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
We sit in the house
And slowly the world we are 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 gonna leave you alone
I want you to get mad

Get mad, god damn it!

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
My life has value!
Get mad, god damn it!

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!

God damn it!

Get mad
