machines are talking behind our backs wondering what we do in the dark buying or selling sex all the time and using their black screens as our masks machines are talking behind our backs what’s with all the videos with cats? you’re treating your emails as holy scratch-cards and shopping in pants every day and night do you miss your brain? do you miss your heart? did you lose them the day you joined the broadband isolated crowd? do you miss your brain? do you miss your heart? do you blame us for that though you created us at the start? machines are talking behind our backs why so many drones and so many wars there’s so much hate all around they wonder how we’re still alive machines are talking behind our backs about our Beatles song attention span about the fact that we don’t vote, just like yeah we download enough stuff for 13 lifetimes do you miss your brain? do you miss your heart? did you lose them the day you joined the broadband isolated crowd do you miss your brain? do you miss your heart? do you blame us for that though you created us at the start? don’t you blame us now how are you still alive?

Saoirse 04:29
we smuggle arms we smuggle drugs but then again when it comes to human traffic we smuggle children we smuggle brutality and wanton cruelty but when it comes to sexual slavery it’s women and children first women and children first women and children first broken bodies and minds and broken futures alike but then again, if you survive your own child will pay the same price so we commodify the nine to twelve year-olds and we objectify millions and millions of women unknown so never go there never say the name never utter the word never say the name never contemplate it and never breathe it in never say the name never say the name saoirse

he will crush you if he must he never does put people first money is the god he trusts and for better or for worse he is sick he is wrong (he) counts his money all day long he is sick he is wrong he lost track of what matters most his conscience left him long ago between child labor and yearly growth and he don’t care about the ones below ‘cause he thinks he’ll never fall well he is sick he is wrong he been trading too close to the sun he is sick he is wrong we’ll keep on singing while he falls
