about

This is not simply a ‘fuck work’ song, that would be a very privileged stance regarding the billions that have to choose between being exploited in underpaid shit jobs or starving to death. The issue is the work ethics of some people around here – forever devoted to their jobs and not seeing the bigger picture, not seeing how they are selling their lives to some company just to get a small part in return while real human interactions regress more and more. It also tackles the classic socialist demand for more employment … as if time not spend in wage labor was somehow time wasted – seriously, get a life!
For a deeper discussion, search for “Manifesto against labour” or type in: www.krisis.org/1999/manifesto-against-labour

lyrics

you work and toil, part of the machine,
why are you so devout?
can't you see that this daily routine
is sucking your blood out?

exploit myself to live up to what?
i never asked to have my share of that!
you live to work, you don't work to live,
you can count me out, i won't take this shit.
don't wanna take part in self-exploitation,
sell my time for the good of the nation,
while communities are disintegrating,
it keeps the system alive.

never be sick, don't stop functioning,
or it will be your demise.
don't you know I have better plans,
i won't fall for their lies.
