the only people suffering, as usual, are the little guys
28
people don't even smile
29
you know, you walk down the street and you look at these couples

they don't even embrace each other anymore

everyone's living in a perpetual state of fear
32
something has to be done
33
our country is self-destructing from within
34
in two or three years it's gonna be my butt
35
i'm just a chicago cab driver

give them a good education, adequate health, and some, uh, hope for the future
54
there is no hope for the future

...got these people that elected these politicians that appoints this guy that appoints this guy
58
and they're all of the same narrow ideology
59
and they're trying to promote, push their values onto you
60

we'll be at each other's throats forever
62
i think that the rodney king beating

it's up to you
