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. He criticized consumerism, superficiality and banality within the media and popular culture, which he characterized as oppressive tools of the ruling class that keep people "stupid and apathetic".
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.

Funny and thought provoking, he attacks corporate America with venom, and almost screams at people to start thinking for themselves.

We condemn all military action
the power and destruction
the force used against our will
the useless blood they
spill
just a matter of time, how when and where
the guns and bombs are very real
they're meant for use against you and me
maybe you'll soon discover
that it's not for defence or any peaceful matter
just a matter of time, how when and where
your
desparate laugh aint for fun
count your days one by one
like sheep you go in for the slaughter
you don't even bother to
ask what for.
