Well, what can I do? Okay, yes We are bored We're all bored now But has it ever occurred to you The process that creates this boredom That we see in the world now May very well be A self-perpetuating Unconscious form of brainwashing Created by a world totalitarian government Based on money And that all of this Is much more dangerous than one thinks? And it's not just a question Of individual survival But that somebody who's bored is asleep And somebody who's asleep will not say no See, I keep meeting these people I mean, just a few days ago I met this man that I greatly admire He's a Swedish physicist And he told me that he no longer watches television He doesn't read newspapers And he doesn't read magazines He's completely cut them out of his life Because he really does feel That we're living In some kind of Orwellian nightmare now And that everything that you hear now Contributes to turning you into a robot When I was at Findhorn I met this extraordinary English tree expert Who had devoted his life to saving trees 84 years old and he always travels with a backpack Because he never knows Where he's gonna be tomorrow When I met him at Findhorn and he said to me "Where are you from?" And I said, "New York." He said, "Ah, New York. Yes, that's a very interesting place. Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave but Never do?" And I said, "Oh, yes." And he said, "Why do you think they don't leave?" I gave him different banal theories. He said, "Oh, I don't think it's that way at all." He said, "I think New York is the new model for the new concentration camp Where the camp Has been built By the inmates themselves And the inmates are the guards And they have this pride In this thing they built. They built their own prison And so they exist In a state of schizophrenia Where they are both guards and prisoners And as a result They no longer have Having been lobotomized The capacity to leave The prison they've made Or to even see it as a prison." And then he went into his pocket And he took out a seed for a tree And he said "This is a pine tree." Put in my hand and he said "Escape before it's too late." Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late We should get out. Get out of here Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late This is the beginning Of the rest of the future now Escape before it's too late See, actually for two or three years now Chiquita and I have had this very unpleasant feeling That we really should get out And we really feel like Jews in Germany in the late '30s Get out of here Of course, the problem is where to go Because it seems quite obvious That the whole world is going in the same direction See, I think it's quite possible That the 1960s represented The last burst of a human being Before he was extinguished And that this is the beginning Of the rest of the future now That from now on There'll simply be all these robots walking around Feeling nothing Thinking nothing And there'll be nobody left almost To remind them That there once was a species Called a human being With feelings and thoughts And that history and memory Are right now being erased And, soon, nobody will really remember That life existed on the planet Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late We should get out. Get out of here Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late Escape before it's too late This is the beginning Of the rest of the future now Escape before it's too late2.98K views 8 comments
