"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride ...
-" And we ... kill those people. Ha ha, "Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."-
It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that?
And let the demons run amok.
Jesus murdered;
Martin Luther King murdered;
Malcolm X murdered;
Gandhi murdered;
John Lennon murdered;
Reagan ... wounded.
But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off.
The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
Thank you very much, you've been great!"
bill hicks sista ord (efter varje show han gjorde) tydligen.
han ville att folk skulle tänka om helt enkelt, hur kommer det sig att man går imot en sådan "politik" eller vad man ska kalla det...
ONE WORLD ONE LOVE
