And the man he steps up to the microphone
and says at last just as the timebell rings
Goodnight now it's time to go home then he makes it fast with one more thing
we are the sultans we are the sultans of swing
-M. Knopfler/Dire Straits
Do not interpret. The words are only chosen for their beauty, not their meaning. There is nothing beyond the word, there is no meaning dislodged on the inside. The machine is working.
We are the unhappy labour force. We are those who get up at 8, get to work at 9, get to the shop av 5 30 and home at 6, make dinner at 7, eat at 7 15, fall asleep 2 hours infront of the television get down to the pub at 9 30 and asleep at 11 30. We know we work the machine, the system, the man, the headless conspiracy and we think about 1984, brave new world, darkness at noon and nordal grieg and we know deep inside our hearts that we are heroes. We are like them, they can get our hours we think they can get us to sit and do something we dislike and we feel a burst of freedom as we read something awful at work and we think they have forged these manacles of the mind for us with our names tags
social security numbers
and we consent to let them take our time aslong as they do not take our thoughts because in our minds we think we are free and we despise the 7 11 campaign that says freedom to go but we don't think about those who serve that freedom, that they are like us because they are drones and nothing else without an education and we've already forgotten how ridiculous our grandfathers and grandmothers and fathers and mothers were when we were 19 years of age cut ourselves because we were cool not because it was fashion
when our times comes and we're put on a drip, completely braindead we know we want the next of kin to pull the plug because then our minds are dead
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE SOUL IS OUTSIDE THE BODY WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN A SYMBIOSIS WE ARE ATHEISTS AND DO NOT BELIEVE
because we are a program. written ten thousand times by different authors, we are the collins novels, we are the goodbye cruel world im leaving part of a listened to death old popsong we are the first word uttered, we are HELLO?
we've always been had at hello. the machine ticks. the system is silent to the human ear and the man
the man writes a post
Goddamn.
Shit yeah.
I think all of sepias stuff should be put in a pdf and printed, or something.
Because it is fucking amazing.
Holy fuck.
:thanks:
It's too damn early in the morning to deal with this.
I'll come back to it after some coffee.
