Industrial Revolution no.308

The Industrial Revolution (And How It Ruined My Life) no.308, by Voltaire from the album To The Bottom of the Sea

 

And that is how (Tell us how)

It came to be (How can it be?)

After two long centuries

That in the name (What's in a name?)

Of human greed

The industrial revolution fixed everything for me

(Everyone) (For every bloody one)

It came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you (and me)

(By taking choice away from you. Taking choice away from me. Taking choice away from you and me)

 

It came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you (and me)

Now the machines are working tirelessly

Through all night and day

Making garbage in our image

For a world that's made our way

And they won't stop until every inch

From Peru to Bombay

Looks like a mall in the US of A

My 365 art project, where I create a year’s worth [yep, 365] of digital collages, with indie songs as my subject.
