The social forms the consciousness The social forms the consciousness The social forms the consciousness Organization of production without limit Self-expansion, with objectification of all labor Giving systems equilibrium But the center of this balance Must be the unity of social relations The social forms the consciousness The social forms the consciousness

There is still a policeman in our heads He must be destroyed The words you speak came from outside of you We must write new poems There are technicians who control our dreams We must dream again But now their dream's a part of you But now their dream's a part of you But now their dream's a part of you But now their dream's a part of you But now their dream's a part of you But now their dream's a part of you

Commands through which we exercise control Are a story we feed to birds Disorganized and incoherent We are all alone in our collection of feedback Alone in the futile exercise of control We seek new, we seek new instruments To listen not to command Listen not command We seek new instruments to listen, not to control

Before any evil intent to subjugate men Through power of indoctrination or even finance There is simply a natural desire to plan Minimize unknown factors to plan activities Capitalism (Oooh!) Communism (Oooh!) Before any evil intent to subjugate through Power of finance or indoctrination There is only a desire to plan Before any evil intent to subjugate men Through power of indoctrination or even finance There is simply a natural desire to plan

Never ask why Only say because We must advance to live Aim for those you love We must advance to live Aim for those you love All is linked, all is consequence, all is consequences For individuals and in the lives of nations All is linked, all is consequence, all is consequences Never ask why Only say because We must advance to live Aim for those you love Never ask why Only say because All is linked, all is consequence, all is consequences All is linked, all is consequence, all is consequences For individuals And in the lives of nations Never ask why Only say because We must advance to live Aim for those you love

Oh, Builder! 03:02
Abuse of power comes as no surprise A future exchanged for once-upon-a-time Oh, Builder, what do you do when you're uneasy? (I build) (I build) Abuse of power comes as no surprise State violence incurs self-inflicted wounds Violence is a task, empty and pathetic Oh, Builder, what do you do when you're uneasy? (I build) (Build) Oh, Builder, what do you do when you're uneasy? (I build)

You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not data You are not instinct You are not helpless You are not engineered You are not a selfish gene Or a machine You are a human being Stuck with complexity You are not an animal - well, maybe But you still have your responsibilities You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not mechanistic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton You are not automatic You are not an automaton Not an automaton

With bureaucracies based on hierarchies We are doomed to find new forms of repression Violence finds a way out, and revolutions are fleeting We have found no evidence for oligarchic ganglions Harmony comes from our autonomy Not from simplicity, but from rich complexity Not from compliance, but from variety We have found no evidence for oligarchic ganglions Every institution resists changing itself But decentralization breeds autonomy Production and resilience without top-down control We have found no evidence for oligarchic ganglions

Our world lost to digitalization A desire to demystify Binary models of stems and petals Are not the flowers they signify The truths of this world are unknowable That does not mean they cannot be seen The struggle for perfect explanations We call science, we call poetry The experience of sublime beauty Must be discovered Again and again and again
