00:00 (water splashing)

00:02 - Any change, man?

00:07 Spare some change, kid?

00:13 Excuse me, sir.

00:18 - It's all right, man, I got nothing.

00:19 - You wanna tell me you got nothing?

00:25 Take the jangling change out of your fucking pocket first.

00:28 And the ones that do stop to give you something,

00:30 they all got that self-satisfied grin

00:33 all over their smug faces,

00:35 like they've just confirmed that they really are

00:37 the most impressive fucking thing in the world.

00:40 And you just gotta bow your head and say, "God bless you,"

00:42 as if there isn't an actual exchange going on.

00:46 Your bloated sense of self-worth is equal to the hole

00:49 that's been ripped out of my dignity.

00:51 See ya, Jack!

00:52 You don't choose to be me.

00:54 You start off with dreams and optimism and hard work,

00:58 and then you realize that those qualities

01:00 were planted in you by the same force

01:02 that's been conniving to smash you apart

01:05 with a fucking sledgehammer.

01:07 And then when you're lying on the floor

01:09 begging that force for help, you notice,

01:11 my God, it's laughing.

01:13 And that's when it hits you

01:15 that this evil fuck has been laughing

01:17 the entire fucking time.

01:19 And the only way you're gonna shut it up

01:21 is to laugh right back in its face,

01:23 and twice as hard.

01:26 I sleep in that, as long as some asshole

01:28 doesn't sneak in there first.

01:30 The last prick I caught in there,

01:32 still picking the glass out of his face.

01:35 There's a place to piss out here, a place to shit,

01:37 a place to fuck, and a place to die.

01:40 And the only thing they got in common

01:43 is you wouldn't be caught dead near any of 'em.

01:46 But don't even think this shit can't happen to you.

01:49 I wasn't born in a puddle.

01:50 I used to be an executive.

01:52 I started in the mailroom underground

01:55 before I earned 19 raises and shot a 42 floors

01:59 to have my own personal view of this whole fucking cesspool.

02:03 I was also married to a wife,

02:07 a beautiful one in a dress.

02:09 She smelled like my mother,

02:11 she'd kiss me whenever I wanted,

02:13 and she cried when I was sad.

02:16 I even ran for mayor once a few years ago.

02:19 It wasn't my idea.

02:20 If it was up to me,

02:22 I'd just tell everybody to go fuck themselves.

02:24 But this gang of politicians insisted I was relatable

02:28 before they filled me full of drugs

02:30 and forced me onto their campaign.

02:32 He was in my cabinet.

02:38 The angle was I knew the streets,

02:41 so who better to clean 'em up?

02:43 I apparently was in the lead

02:44 because the other guy had a hair lip

02:46 and I told it like it was.

02:48 But then the opposition invited me

02:51 to this sort of debutante dinner party

02:53 where I was framed for fingering a bunch of animals.

02:57 The smear campaign was too much for my wife

03:01 and she blew herself up at a press conference.

03:03 Who the fuck's there, huh?

03:14 Oh, what, is this the part where you all jump out?

03:20 Is that your big fucking plan?

03:22 Fuck you, fuck you, bastard, you're dead.

03:25 Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,

03:26 fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,

03:28 fuck you, fuck you, bastard!

03:30 I still have a list of my policies

03:32 for if I did or ever do win mayor.

03:34 I'd start by tearing down

03:36 every fucking billboard in the country

03:38 and the ones that are left standing

03:40 would say horrible, horrible shit

03:41 that would just make you puke.

03:44 Then I'd shut down every TV station,

03:46 make everyone live in the forest,

03:48 and every CEO of every corporate shithouse

03:51 would have to cut their heads off in front of everyone

03:54 and we'd still have a long fucking way to go.

03:57 I mean, look around and you think it's normal

04:00 because it's all you ever see,

04:01 but TV didn't exist 100 years ago.

04:04 Condoms didn't exist 100 years ago.

04:06 The fucking smartphone didn't exist 100 years ago.

04:10 But you just dive right in, nose first into the muck

04:13 and hide behind your stupid ignorance

04:15 as an excuse for abandoning nature and abandoning God.

04:19 And if you think I'm an asshole,

04:21 just flip open to any fucking page of the Bible,

04:24 then look up at the squalor you're boiling in

04:26 and you fucking tell me we're not living in Rome.

04:29 And don't get me started

04:30 on those fucking handheld idiot boxes.

04:32 You're all walking around like a bunch of sleepwalking morons

04:36 with your faces in your phones and your phones down here.

04:38 So really what you're looking at is the ground, man.

04:42 And they got you living your entire life

04:44 staring into this little mirror

04:46 where you just marvel at your own drooling reflection

04:49 and your ego bathes in itself

04:51 and your whole fucking life goes by in a meaningless blip.

04:55 And even that blip is shorter now

04:56 and it's because of that fucking phone.

04:58 Because it's pumping toxic waves

05:01 of DNA mutating crap into your body

05:04 and filling your prostate and your tits

05:07 and your brains with cancer.

05:08 And it's doing it at all times around the fucking clock,

05:12 even while you're asleep.

05:13 And why?

05:14 So you can delete your fucking email.

05:16 (phone ringing)

05:18 (phone thudding)

05:21 And don't even get me started on AIDS.

05:26 When I was 10, my uncle came to live with us

05:31 to sleep on the couch and hide from some pursuers

05:34 he wasn't allowed to talk about.

05:36 One night he was ranting about how some spooks

05:41 had replaced his normal hair

05:43 with electronic recording strands.

05:45 But when he tried to burn those strands out of his head,

05:49 his whole body caught fire

05:51 and spread to the house immediately

05:52 since he'd riddled the place with flammable booby traps.

05:56 My parents were sleeping upstairs and died in the blaze.

06:01 I was sleeping in my tree house that night,

06:05 which was right outside their window.

06:07 So I was at the perfect angle to hear the screams.

06:13 I'd earlier been diagnosed with the same disorder

06:16 as my uncle, but my prescription burned up in the fire.

06:20 So I forget.

06:23 I remember the pills were yellow.

06:30 And while they did lower the volume of everyone shouting,

06:34 they would also turn your teeth black

06:36 and make your dreams tell you to break things.

06:39 (birds chirping)

06:42 You know what Freud says about the nature of horror?

06:46 He says it's when the home becomes unhomelike, unheimlich.

06:52 And that's what this place has become.

06:55 This whole fucking time and country and everything else,

06:59 it's unheimlich.

07:01 And I want my life to mean something.

07:04 I wanna change things around

07:05 and make something beautiful out of all this shit.

07:09 Even now when I sleep,

07:10 I have dreams that would make you cry.

07:12 Big, colorful dreams where...

07:16 That's my daughter.

07:28 (wind blowing)

07:30 (wind blowing)

07:35 (wind blowing)
