Howard Beale Sounds: Network Edit

And we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad. Worse than ...

Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.

But I'm not gonna take this anymore.

Everybody knows things are bad.

Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.

Fire as bad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore.

Fire as bad as hell.

Go to the window, open it and stick your head out and yell. I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

God damn it.

Hey, I'm not gonna take this anymore.

Hi Mr. Mad as hell.

Hi, Mrs. Mad as hell. And I'm not gonna take this anymore.

I don't have to tell you things are bad.

I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.

I don't know.

I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to ride. I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.

I want you to get mad.

I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it and stick your head out and yell him as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

I was mad as hell.

I was mad as hell. Hell Western take this anymore.

I'm a human being, God damn it.

I'm not going to take this anymore.

It's a depression.

It's like Everything Everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore.

Just leave us alone.

My life has value.

Please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.

Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere seems to know what to do and there's no end to it.

The air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.

The dollar buys a nickels worth.

Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis.

They're crazy.

Time is mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Time is mad as hell.

Time is mad as hell.

Time is mad as hell. I'm not going to take this anymore.

We know things are bad, worse than bad.

We sit in the House and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller and all we say is please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel belt...

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

You've got to get mad.
