You Don't Even Live Here Lyrics
Sir, there are hundreds of people outside. They can't get in. You
Have even gagged us. You have not allowed us to speak at this hearing. We
Asked you to stop construction of the plant, and you didn't listen to us.
You didn't listen even to your own two consultants of the advisory
Committee on the reactor's safeguards, when they said that this plant is
Dangerous. You don't have to talk, you don't even live here, you have no
Stake in this (??).
You told us that a Class 9 accident was incredible. Our fell
Ow
Citizens have learned too painfully that you were WRONG AGAIN! The NRC said
That the money eight years ago, money would never be a factor in licensing
This plant. Yet today self-righteously you made claims that we've got
To get this plant licensed because any delay costs the plant millions of
Dollars. Sir, may I remind you that, as tax-payers, we in this community
Pay your salary. As taxpayers, we pay the NRC's salaries. As wage-payers,
We pay PG&E's salaries. We, sir, are paying for this whole goddamn
Proceeding, and you won't even let us talk!

Here was my thought process upon seeing this page.

"What! That's the exact opposite of what Negativland would do! Oh maybe its some weird sort of ironic statement-----"
Then I realized. Escape From Noise was an SST album. Greg Ginn. Ugh...
This is one of the most powerful samples I've ever heard. I'm really curious where it came from. This is probably my favorite song on the album despite the musical accompaniment being very minimal... just the power of the speech used carries the song along well.
Also how am I the first person on here to comment on Negativland! Come on people! These are some of the most discussion-worthy lyrics in music!
