| Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali - It's a nice musical name...Muhammad Ali.
|
| He's back at work again; |
| he's being allowed to work once again, Muhammad Ali. |
| He wasn't for
|
| awhile, as you know. |
| For about three and a half years, they didn't let him work. |
| 'Course he had
|
| an unusual job, beating people up. |
| It's a strange calling, y'know? |
| But it's one you're entitled to.
|
| Government didn't see it that way. |
| Government wanted him to change jobs. |
| Government
|
| wanted him to kill people. |
| He said, "No, that's where I draw the line. I'll beat 'em up, but I don't
|
| wanna kill 'em." And the government said, "Well, if you won't kill 'em, we won't let you beat 'em
|
| up! |
| Ah, ha, ha, ha."
|
| It was a spiteful move, y'know. |
| All because he didn't want to go to Vietnam. |
| And now, of course,
|
| we're leaving Vietnam...(makes explosion sound) We're leaving through Laos, Cambodia and
|
| Thailand. |
| It's the overland route. |
| It's the long way out. |
| Ya gotta go through China and Russia to
|
| get out that way. |
| What'll we tell them, man? |
| "We'll only be here six weeks. Just looking for the
|
| Ho Chi Minh Trail!" Wow. Maybe they'll buy it, y'know. Of course, you have to remember why
|
| we're over there in the first place...(pause, then applause) Oh, yeah! |
| It always comes to me. |
| To
|
| free those people...So they can have industry- yeah! |
| US industry- YEAH! |
| Those are the middle
|
| two letters of the word 'industry'..US. |
| And that is our job around the world. |
| Run in, free some
|
| people and whip a little industry on them. |
| "Here's your industry. Cool it awhile, willya?" |
| So that
|
| they can have the benefits of industry that we have come to enjoy...COUGH!
|
| Oh, beautiful
|
| for smoggy skies
|
| insecticided grain
|
| For strip mined mountains majesty
|
| above the asphalt plain
|
| America, America
|
| Man sheds his waste on thee
|
| and hides the pines
|
| with billboard signs
|
| from sea to oily sea-eee!
|
| Then you have to have to remember the sexual side of Vietnam which a lot of people don't
|
| notice. |
| The Hearst newspapers notice it, of course. |
| Yes, they're into sex on anything. |
| You check
|
| the wishing well or the sewing patterns and there's a little something in there. |
| But they're always
|
| afraid of pulling out. |
| That's they're big problem, y'know? |
| "Pull out? Doesn't sound manly to me,
|
| Bill. |
| I say leave it in there and get the job done!" 'Cause that is, after all, what we're doing to that
|
| country, right?
|
| Yeah. |
| And we have always been good at that, you must admit. |
| We, uh, took care of, uh, the
|
| blacks, took care of the Indians. |
| I consider the South just another minority that was screwed by
|
| the US government. |
| I have no prejudice against them. |
| They got it, too. |
| 'budadoom!'
|
| We really gave the Indians a fast trip across the continent, you notice that? |
| They were having a
|
| little cookout in Massachusetts- buncha boats came up, man..."Hey, ya mind moving over, guys?
|
| Bring in the stuff. |
| Would you move it over, man. |
| Bring in the stuff. |
| Would you move it over, man.
|
| Bring in the stuff. |
| Would you move it over, man. |
| Over three mountain ranges...four mountain
|
| ranges. |
| Got 'em onto an offshore island, Alcatraz, right? |
| Off the continent completely! |
| They had
|
| to take the island to get it! |
| Then we kicked them off there. |
| "I guess we're going to send them
|
| back where they came from." Yeah, we must, we.. They bought the Bering Strait theory. "Get
|
| them welfare people to work filling in the Bering Strait and charge them Indians a buck a head to
|
| go home. |
| It's a good sound business solution." |
