lyrics

we never see what’s wrong—we’re wrong, clocking in again. i’m praying for technology as it preys on you. the arbiter of the undying process will surely laugh our little ruse to scorn. i hop institution to institution. i contribute. i pass checkpoint after checkpoint and my data is corrupted. i’m on watch and they take notes—my private record is debauched. intermittent shores and lexical undercuttings. i’ve just been surveilled. pray. we cope and contribute. push a broom, push a number key—so it is and so must always be. sanctimonious yelling. piss your wages up the wall—back to racing whippets and growing leeks.
we’re occupational automata. i’m a guidance counsellor. forget ourselves—our selfhood. we wandered into the infrastructure. i see one thing i see one thing. i’m a cubicle. i’m a sidescroller. out the window, the parallax traffic. this is what i am. i jump on my boss’s head. two times later she gives me a paycheque and the stage changes. your value as an employee stops at your value as an employee. we don’t call ourselves ourselves—i call you an engineer. urethane eternal i trudge the ghetto plastic and lights dictate my walk. a harpsichord strum cues the start of robot murders. i’m stuck in a gradual momentum. crumbling— how do i ascribe value to something? what has value? i saw your face...what were you doing there?
