1.
Grasping for air Under a raging sun Behind a border Weapons keep guard Wake from a dream My sheets are wet A warm breath A drop of salt Once I could breathe Once I could walk One day I will die By the hand of generations The line is straight Take my hand If nothing changes This is where we will be A dream so fair Of progress and faith A ladder to the sky A world to be yours Nature a burden For an excellent mind Solidarity Is a stab in the back
2.
The birds are singing I think one of them is crazy A fox is hunting in the field The hares are running We share a bottle of wine We sit in the sun There is no world outside Just us and the trees And perhaps a climate catastrophe Everything is ours To sow and to reap
3.
Sacrifice yourself Sacrifice yourself Sacrifice my friends Sacrifice my friends The logic of sacrifice is different Depending on who’s holding the knife

M-C-M' 07:04
I work the machine Everyday I come to this place And everyday I strain myself put on my face and my bodily armour To shield me from the what-nots and what-ifs I will encounter There is a me there somewhere Underneath A me which is hiding in the undergrowth Under branches and twigs It’s silent now And won’t speak again until tonight Not until after the labour After the commute After the bowl of food After the shower After the coffee Not until after all that will it surface again And carefully - almost a bit insecure It will ask if it can come out Come out and say hi Maybe suggest a new idea A sliver of creativity After lurking beneath for twelve hours Biding its time We spin in a circle of labour, consumption, reproduction Money talks and I have to listen That shielded little fellow doesn’t want to but he has to listen too To know his place The wheels keep turning Spin upon spin Money grows, value is created Out of thin air and muscles Reproductive time has no value but to restore To build capacity for another spin on the wheel We take another one You know, yesterday we had a new brand of cereal in the store They say it’s good for you Makes you cope just a little bit more It’s supposed to be real tasty with yoghurt I heard they make it here, in our town Might even be someone I know The money carousel keeps spinning Let’s take a ride Our heads feel all dizzy But we’re glad not standing aside Poor people who aren’t allowed the ride There’s not seats for everyone The sky is the limit We take flight and aim I hear they serve those cereals as inflight snacks now The system cannot end It’s a master of adaptation For every crisis The dollars respawn, stronger than before We produce We consume On and on and on and on A bit less human for every spin Let’s do it again

about

M-C-M' is Marx's formula for how capitalism creates profit. The title track is an illustration of this formula and how it for the worker who creates the value translates into a life of toil and little time for anything else.
