21St Century Living Live Transcripts

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has these or has a link to where I could find the lyrics Matt used when performing the song live (mainly in 2003).   I remember there being one where it was an anti Nike rant and something along the lines of "Tonights airstrikes are brought to you by NIKE, building a better tomorrow by blowing the shit out of the competition today"   Another one was about newspaper and media outlets bidding on who would pay for a child's prosthetic legs.    I believe there were 4 or 5 different ones that Matt used and if anybody can post the lyric transcripts it would be great.

I saw this in the comments of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtV0VZqg9Dc :

 

"...tonights air strikes are brought to you by nike, just do it, pepsi, the choice of the newly conquered generation, and eggs-on, helping build a better tomorrow by bombing the shit out of the competition of today.."

Did you check youtube?​ I don't know if you already saw these two videos. One mentions Playboy and Hugh Hefner, and the other one has former President George W. Bush's voice on it.

Yeah, I also remember being impressed by how he came up with the material on the fly and so fast before the concert.

One of them was definitely the middle section of this speech:

The text I know was part of it was this:
 

Our Congress gave the President the ability to respond to the tragedy of September 11. We licensed a response to those who helped bring the terror of September 11th. But we the people and our elected representatives must reserve the right to measure the response, to proportion the response, to challenge the response, and to correct the response.

Because we did not authorize the invasion of Iraq.

We did not authorize the invasion of Iran.

We did not authorize the invasion of North Korea.

We did not authorize the bombing of civilians in Afghanistan.

We did not authorize permanent detainees in Guantanamo Bay.

We did not authorize the withdrawal from the Geneva Convention.

We did not authorize military tribunals suspending due process and habeas corpus.

We did not authorize assassination squads.

We did not authorize the resurrection of COINTELPRO.

We did not authorize the repeal of the Bill of Rights.

We did not authorize the revocation of the Constitution.

We did not authorize national identity cards.

We did not authorize the eye of Big Brother to peer from cameras throughout our cities.

We did not authorize an eye for an eye.

Nor did we ask that the blood of innocent people, who perished on September 11, be avenged with the blood of innocent villagers in Afghanistan.

We did not authorize the administration to wage war anytime, anywhere,anyhow it pleases.

We did not authorize war without end.
