Hey you know what I say watch yourself tonight burn it away

Joe: Yeah, I know there’s s’posed to be… I know the human race is s’posed to get down on its knees in front of all of this new technology and kiss the micro-chip circuits - it doesn’t impress me ever much! When there ain’t nothin’ but a, “YOU BUY! YOU MAKE – YOU BUY – YOU DIE!” That’s the motto of America. “YOU GET BORN TO BUY IT!” And I tell you, those people out in East L.A., they ain’t gonna stay there forever. And if there’s anything gonna be in the future, it’s gonna be from all parts of everything, not just one white way down the middle of the road! So if anybody out there ever grows up – FOR FUCK’S SAKE!

Success Guaranteed OR YOUR MONEY BACK! YES, YOUR MONEY BACK! Yes or your money back…

Joe: Yeah, there’s a new English bloke on the drums here. He’s called Peter Howard.

Bullocks! Bullocks! Come on, don’t, you don’t have to fake it I mean, man, he’s paying twenty-five dollars to go out there so uh… you know, do what you like.

Try this on for size, “Well, Hi Everybody - Ain’t it groovy?!” Aintcha sick’a hearin’ that for the last hundred and fifty years? Look, I know you’re all standing there looking at the stage, but I’m here to tell you that the people that are on this stage and are come on and have been on it already - we’re at nowhere! Absolutely nowhere! Can you understand that?

Who..., they've got it all worked out... Yeah, it's a big deal, innit? Well, we can wash 'em all and we can say Bye Bye 'cause they're all gonna run for a hole in the ground and there ain't gonna be nobody... one of us down there. They're gonna go, "See you later, gnag!
