about

"He who is subject to a field of visibility, and knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relations in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection."
- Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison

lyrics

Hey hey, they're rounding up the useless scum
I’m on the winning team, the winning team, the winning team
Ha ha, couldn’t read or write that well
So we let you know, we had to let you know
Uh huh, that’s when I learned to shut my mouth
Still on the winning team, always the winning team
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a lovely spring
The way they downsize and privatize everything

Hey hey, they're measuring skulls again
I'm on the winning team, the winning team, the winning team
Oh my, scanned under fluorescent light
It’s all to set you straight, all to set you straight
Oh no, graded by deficit genes
I’m on the winning team, always the winning team
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a lovely spring
The way they downsize and privatize everything

Lightning strikes twice

Hey hey, they're cutting off the hands of thieves
I'm on the winning team, the winning team, the winning team
Oh my, beady eyes in public space
To look down on you, to look down on you
Oh no, can’t reach the remote this way
There’s always something on, always something on
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a lovely spring
The way they downsize and privatize everything

Lightning strikes twice
