George Carlin, George Carlin - American Dream

George Carlin - American Dream

But there's a reason.

There's a reason. There's a reason for this, there's a reason education SUCKS, and it's the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed. It's never going to get any better, don't look for it, be happy with what you've got.

Because the owners, the owners of this country don't want that.

I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians.

They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want.

Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want: They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.

They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right.

They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don't want that! You know what they want?

They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain't in it! You, and I, are not in the big club . By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe.

All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don't give a fuck about you….they don't give a fuck about you… they don't give a FUCK about you. They don't care about you at all… at all… AT ALL.

And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it.

But there’s a reason. Aber es gibt einen Grund dafür. Mais il y a une raison. Ama bir sebebi var. 但这是有原因的。

There’s a reason. Dafür gibt es einen Grund. 这是有原因的。 There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever,  EVER be fixed. |||||||||형편없다|||||||||||| Es gibt einen Grund dafür, es gibt einen Grund, warum Bildung SCHLECHT ist, und es ist derselbe Grund, warum sie niemals, niemals, NIEMALS verbessert werden wird. Il y a une raison à cela, il y a une raison pour laquelle l'éducation est pourrie, et c'est la même raison pour laquelle elle ne sera jamais, jamais, JAMAIS réparée. Er is een reden voor, er is een reden waarom onderwijs ZUIGT, en het is dezelfde reden dat het nooit, nooit, OOIT zal worden opgelost. Bunun bir nedeni var, bir nedeni eğitim SUCKS, ve asla, asla, asla sabit olmayacağının nedeni. 这是有原因的,教育糟糕透顶是有原因的,而且这个原因永远、永远、永远都不会被解决。 It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got. Es wird nie besser werden, suchen Sie nicht danach, seien Sie zufrieden mit dem, was Sie haben. La situation ne s'améliorera jamais, ne cherchez pas à l'améliorer, contentez-vous de ce que vous avez.

Because the owners, the owners of this country don’t want that. Denn die Eigentümer, die Besitzer dieses Landes, wollen das nicht. Parce que les propriétaires, les propriétaires de ce pays ne veulent pas de cela.

I’m talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! Je parle maintenant des vrais propriétaires, des GRANDS propriétaires ! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! Les riches... les vrais propriétaires ! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Die großen, wohlhabenden Geschäftsinteressen, die alles kontrollieren und alle wichtigen Entscheidungen treffen. Les grands intérêts commerciaux riches qui contrôlent les choses et prennent toutes les décisions importantes. Forget the politicians.

They are irrelevant. Ils ne sont pas pertinents. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. |lawmakers|are||||||||||possess||| Die Politiker sollen den Eindruck erwecken, dass man die Wahlfreiheit hat. You don’t. Sie haben keine. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations.

They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. ||||||||상원||||||||||||판사들||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Ils ont depuis longtemps acheté et payé le Sénat, le Congrès, les États fédérés, les mairies, ils ont les juges dans leurs poches et ils possèdent tous les grands médias, de sorte qu'ils contrôlent pratiquement toutes les nouvelles et les informations que vous entendez.

By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe.

All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. |||기울어진| Люди похилили стіл. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. |||підлаштована||||| Гра сфальсифікована, і, здається, ніхто не помічає. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on.

Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you. ||||||||||겸손한||||선택하다||||||||||||||||||||||||| Хорошие честные трудолюбивые люди продолжают, это люди со скромным достатком, продолжать избирать этих богатых членососов, которым плевать на вас....they don't give a fuck about you... they don't give a FUCK about you.

They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL.

And nobody seems to notice. И, кажется, никто этого не замечает. Nobody seems to care. Похоже, это никого не волнует. Thats what the owners count on. На это и рассчитывают владельцы. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. |||||||свідомо||||||||||||||||||||||||| Тот факт, что американцы, скорее всего, так и останутся в полном неведении относительно большого красно-бело-голубого члена, который ежедневно засовывают им в задницу, потому что хозяева этой страны знают правду. It’s called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it. Это называется "американская мечта", потому что нужно спать, чтобы в нее поверить.
