* a scene from the TECH MESSIAH project *
Embrace. Snuggle up to dystopia. Accept the role that life gives you. Find your box – your hole – your rut – crawl into it.
There is no originality in anything you do. There is nothing individual about anything you choose. Look at me - every hair in place - every fucking day - every mindless fucking day. Enough condescending speeches to last a lifetime. Sometimes you just don’t seem to know your place. You wiggle in your chair. Twist your finger round the edge of your pencil. ARE YOU A DREAMER??!!! PAY ATTENTION WHEN i’m TALKING TO YOU!!!!
welcome to the real world
Would it be too much to ask? Could you just pay attention long enough to learn where you belong? Look at the history we’ve created. Blind faith in leadership – signs of quality – proper categorization. Look at this great nation. Breathing fire and gasoline. Gotta scrub real hard to keep her clean. Love god, cherry pie and rock & roll. You’ve got no other place to go.
you might want to have a seat
The DOCTOR will see you now. Your eyes seem to wander. You have trouble concentrating on your routine. I know what you need. I like to throw out random acronyms and eponyms because I get paid by the word and you don’t know what they mean. We’re going to fix you. You have a disease. We used to drive nails into your skull with hammers but now we just give you these –
Take the pretty colors – let them slide on down – and soon you’ll stop being obscene.
