about

"Nothing is less passive than the act of fleeing, of exiting. Defection modifies the conditions within which the struggle takes place, rather than presupposing those conditions to be an unalterable horizon; it modifies the context within which a problem has arisen, rather than facing this problem by opting for one or the other of the provided alternatives."
- Paolo Virno, A Grammar of the Multitude

lyrics

5.15, dragged out of my dreams
By people screaming outside my window
There’s no way I’m going back to sleep now
12 o’clock, brought me to my senses
Newsflash of body counts in the outskirts
And I dare say that it’s all connected

A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways
A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways

I don’t think I can recall
Being asked if I wanted
The boredom
The pettiness
The angst
And the ridicule

6.15 and it’s been dark since three
Seems like these days go on forever
I can’t stand the monotony
8 o’clock, shut the blinds of the windows
I’ve been told the workday never ends here
It’s a social factory

A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways
A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways

I don’t think I can recall
Being asked if I wanted
The boredom
The pettiness
The angst
And the ridicule

A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways
A life of constant failure
They say we choose our own ways

Of course there could be
Other options available
"while fleeing, grab a weapon"
Grab a weapon
And don’t look back
