Some people have been on the ride for

a long time and they begin to question:

"is this real, or is this just a ride?"

And other people have remembered, and they

come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry,

don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."

And we... kill those people.

"Shut him up."

"We have a lot invested in this ride.

Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry."

"Look at my big bank account and my family.

This just has to be real."

Just a ride. But we always kill those

good guys who try and tell us that,

you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok.

But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride.

And we can change it anytime we want.

It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money.

A choice, right now, between fear and love.

The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors,

buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes

of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride.

Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year

and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world,

which it would many times over, not one human being excluded,

and we could explore space, together,

both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

Thank you very much, you've been great.

I hope you enjoyed it.

London, you were fantastic, thank you,

thank you very much...

It's just a ride, it's just a ride...

Hope you enjoyed it

Thanks to Pablo H. Gianella (for subtitle times)

In Bill Hicks memory... Thank you!

Bill Hicks

William Melvin Hicks (December 16, 1961 – February 26, 1994) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist and musician. His material, encompassing a wide range of social issues including religion, politics, and philosophy, was controversial, and often steeped in dark comedy. At the age of 16, while still in high school, he began performing at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas. During the 1980s, he toured the United States extensively and made a number of high-profile television appearances; but it was in the UK that he amassed a significant fan base, filling large venues during his 1991 tour. He also achieved a modicum of recognition as a guitarist and songwriter. Hicks died of pancreatic cancer on February 26, 1994, in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the age of 32. In subsequent years his work gained a significant measure of acclaim in creative circles—particularly after a series of posthumous album releases—and he developed a substantial cult following. In 2007 he was voted sixth on Britain's Channel 4 list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comics, and rose to number four on the 2010 list. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him thirteenth on its list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time. more…
