lyrics

The "freedom" we endlessly and naively claim to cherish- already reduced to little more than imperceptible consumer preferences- has long been a lie. It’s merely a forced choice between equally bleak dystopias. Do you want gun-branded coffee to sip while you deliriously cheer reality show fascism, an endless parade of grifters and clowns filling the airwaves with commodified resentment for a population drunk on their own hatred? Or the numb comfort of a stunningly ineffective bureaucracy of aggressively mediocre technocrats, comfortably whittling time away debating nothing at long tables while the world burns? Engage in any way, show the slightest glimmer of hope, and you’re subjected to a gauntlet of abuse, forced to endure a never-ending torrent of threats and judgement and intrusions in the digital panopticon we've imprisoned ourselves in. Withdraw, give up, admit defeat, and you’ll be rewarded with endless bread and circuits as your leisure is turned into labor for a thousand cruel bosses, betting on your gullibility and feasting on your disengagement, their barely concealed contempt for you manifest in the dross they sell. We've built this inhuman world, this empire of cruelty and degradation, where we have so thoroughly shrunk what it means to be “free” that millions seem unable to differentiate between liberty and their own death as they joyfully volunteer to be sacrificed upon the altar to the grinding gears of unabating profit (forever may they turn).
