[quote="Transcript by C.K.]00:25
There's a black granite wall on Washington DC and it bears 58,260 names on it.
All of those whose names that are carved on that wall are dead.
for what?
Freedom?
If this country had listened when kids were screaming to stop that slaughter,
That wall would have been one hell of a lot shorter.
Yet we as a nation still wage wars of choice.
Wars that are encouraged by plutocrats who never had to fight them.
Peace is never discussed.
Peace has somehow become a pejorative.
Peace is no pejorative.
Peace is essential to the human race.
And those who advocate for war are a dangerous and fearful group.
Who should be marginalised and disavowed.
War is always the last choice.
The Dirty Fucking Hippies were right.

The oceans have been rising.
The polar ice is melting at alarming rates.
The climate is changing in irreversible ways.
Our survival as a species on this planet is on a precipice.

The science of this is clear,
Humans are now in trouble because of our reckless stewardship of what we dominate.
We have polluted this fragile jewel that hangs in space.
Our only home.
The food we buy is contaminated.
The toys we give our children as presents at Christmas are tainted with poison.

2:11
The water we drink is rife with carcinogens
The fish in our rivers and oceans is so full of mercury that it is only recommended we eat them once per week.

We have now come face to face with our own extinction.
I hate to say we told you so,
But the Dirty Fucking Hippies were right.

We have elected sociopath after sociopath
for the last 30 years, to every level of government.
Many of them slaves to corporate parasites that gorge themselves at the public trough,
While the most vulnerable people in our society, the sick, the young and the elderly go wanting.

3:00
Billions of dollars in profits are being snitched up at the expense and suffering of our neighbours by the jackals that comprise our pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies.
Both of which hype their diagnostic wisdom and fake concern, right into our homes via TV and radio commercials.

3:20
These legal drug dealers now sell their wares with impunity
and the insurance gamblers perform a slick game of three card Monty, right in our living rooms.

Most of these drugs have a list of caveats that would make even the most dishonest used car salesmen blush.
And the insurance hustlers change the rules of the game just when it's time to pay up.

3.42
Profiting from the suffering and pain of others.
Profiting from human frailty.
Universal health care, "its too expensive" we're told.
Gasbag talking heads on TV and radio have been complicit in this deception while being handsomely compensated for their assistance.

I'll say it again,
The Dirty Fucking Hippies, were right.

Big Box discount stores have descended upon small towns in America like alien ships.
Filled with cheap products bought at low prices from countries that pay their workers slave wages.
Plutocrats love this business model.
Mum and pop shops can't compete with prices set by these huge corporate parasites.
And to no-one's surprise many small businesses in these tiny hamlets, fail.
Leaving small towns filled with empty store fronts,
and even if some cases forcing these same small business operators to go to work for the very people that ruined their livelihoods.
Small town America is subsequently decimated by this invasion
Often helpless in stopping it.

Wall Street has cannibalised itself.
Still hungry, feeling the pangs of their greed, they've now come to the government for their daily meal.
And still without a hint of irony,
A spokesman for this ravenous tribe mounts the soapbox
and has the temerity to rail against the evils of socialism.

5:20
Turns out the socialism is for them, the capitalism is for us.
Abbie Hoffman once bated these banksters.
By throwing cash into the floor of the New York Stock Exchange
to no-ones astonishment they demonstrated their insatiable greed.
The gluttons couldn't help themselves.
They stopped trading, got on their knees and swept up the free loot.
Wall Street should have been reigned in long ago

I'll say it again,
The Dirty Fucking Hippies were right.[/quote]
