I just got up on stage and this is what I said.
Ev-ev-ev-ev-everything--everything is fucked
I'm sorry that's no way to start a show
I apologized. I started again. I said
Most-most-most-most--most things are fucked
but please don't give up on me now
'cause I'm here to get you out of this dark hole
that's my job after all
Craigie make 'em laugh make 'em cry, oh
that's what it says in your bio.
Oh make 'em cry?
That'll be easy tonight.
Way to easy tonight.
But make 'em laugh? Almost impossible.
It's like a funeral out there.
Don't let the darkness--break you my friends.
There are sooooooooo many of us and only one of him.
So I-I-I-I-I did my research
I tried to find some silver lining.
But I didn't have much time and it ain't great
so I hope you can appreciate
my findings. Here's what I found:
It's historically proven that when the president's a republican
we have better music....artists are better when they're bummed.
Thats how it goes that's how it's done.
When times are good, musicians they get lazy
and the bad music slips out and it drives us all crazy.
For example: in 1995 a group named nickleback came out.
And in 1995 the Democrats were in the white houuuuuuse.
I'm just saying.
Same goes for Limp Bizkit and linkin part, matchbox 20, mmmmm-bop,
ohhhhhhhh--I'm just sayin.
Macarana. Justin Bieber. All the results of the Democrat leaders.
I'm just sayyyyyyin.
The world may go to shit, but we'll have better music.
Don't let the darkness--break you my friends.
There are sooooooooo many of us and only one of him.
Now I"m not going to get up here and tell you that things have to get worse before they get better--ah, it's just not true. Things could just get better, stay better, continue get better.
Ahhh-that's not what things usually do.
Just ask rosa parks, muhatma ghandi, nelson mandela, Martin Luther King
Every now and then there's a bunch of bullshit
You gotta fight it.
And when we fight it we always win.
Oh but the pessimist in us wants to scream "craigie shut up!
What about the battles that we lose?"
I tell you fools...
them just the battle sthat we haven't won yeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Don't let the darkness--break you my friends.
There are sooooooooo many of us and only one of him.
