Under the constant threat of the police

Labor recedes into machines

As the ghost of decency

Said the song, said the singer.

Abridgment of toil like a route

Through the thicket of pointless rebellion,

Did you not understand yet,

What the problem was ?

Despising efficiency means fading

Faster, higher, stronger ;

In our kind society

“There are no mechanisms for

Converting redundancy into leisure.”
