Steam machines breathing caustic vapors and fire
Workers in masks breathe deeply, inhale the vulgar defile
We've only bestial awareness, no concept of the divine
Without destiny, there are only labors lost, love and time
Facing emotional starvation, adding mental exhaustion
Strangulation damnation, with no causation nor equation
The dream machine is fed by entropy, by fate's chemistry
Literal interpretations, without nuance, sniff of debauchery
“And just as the functions of the bodily organs of plants and animals
cannot be arbitrarily altered, so that, for example, one cannot at
will hear with his eyes and see with his ears, so also one cannot at
pleasure transform an organ of social oppression into an instrument for
the liberation of the oppressed. The state can only be what it is: the
defender of mass exploitation and social privileges, the creator of
privileged classes and castes and of new monopolies."
