Henry Rollins on America

Little NSFW for language.

On “Think Tank”, Henry Rollins says this in reference to how easy and nice America has it compared to the rest of the world (it’s the “World Peace” track (start listening at the beginning for full context):

I think we’re getting a little bit overweight and we’re going to get taken out and we won’t even be awake. We’ll be on the fucking reclining chair with the satellite dish and the remote when people come to fucking kill us.

Realize that this was said in 1998, 3 years before America got a huge and tragic wake-up call.
