We gon' burn this mutha out...

We gon' burn this mutha out.

Ahhhh the good old days of disco. Thirty years ago there was no wild fire season. There was no such thing as a fire being 130,000 acres one day--like the one in Yosemite--and doubling in size overnight. And who knew that our own poop would be the cause of such disaster. Who could've guessed that science would be ridiculed and dismissed.

We danced. Not a care in the world.

The last thing to worry about was boring politics or the demise of our democracy. Politicians were as slimy as ever but you felt that most of them had the country's best interests at heart. Even Nixon was an honest crook.

No, our rights were unquestionable, inalienable even. Why if there was unfairness, people could take to the streets and protest. There was no such thing as a free speech zone. We had rights. Like privacy. No camera on every corner--on every highway lightpole, every business.


The roof the roof the roof is on fire! We don't need no water let the mutha,!?;#r burn!

Keep dancing just keep dancing.

Shake your groove thang shake your groove thang yeah yeah.

This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights all 3 of them
I say
Number 1: You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Number 2: You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don't mind a little
Humiliation, investigation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation
Wang! Young offenders! Know your rights
Number 3: You have the right to freeeee
Speech as long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it.
Know your rights
These are your rights
All 3 of 'em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well..............................
Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don't have a home to go to
Smush
Finally then I will readd you your rights
You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you
Listen to this
Run
