on soulless assembly lines, running at a maddening speed / industrious hands are destined to reproduce the objects of our craving / robots of flesh and blood repeating pre-designed movements around the clock / every second is planned, efficiency running at its best / blood sweat and tears are smearing the cogwheels / operation ain’t no creation, but unbearable mind-wrecking repetition / maintenance of the machinery of our own oppression / the sound of progression arrhythmic industrial noise, the funeral march of the assembly line / the machines are running, producing the tools / operators are programmed too, their movements are doomed
Every time we clock in for a job – an activity that in an indirect way ensures our physical existence -we reproduce the system that forces us to clock in on the first place. We produce things and provide services that other people will have/want to buy from the money they earned at their jobs. And the cycle is closed, the system is reproduced, demand is created, supply is in the works and we make endsmeet. Although machines and robots are taking over workplaces in every economic sector today, still technological progression fails to raise the level of social well-being.
