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

Casiotone Conspiracies
02:37
|
|||
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!

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 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

Oligarchic Ganglions
03:22
|
|||
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
