My fist insists
On punching the stereo knob
To relieve the social tension
Weighing the options
Turned on like a TV set
It’s the illusion of choice, like voting on the Voice
So many channels, but no release
Remote control freaks
Gimme friction
Between my impulse and my purchase
Gimme friction
To the corporate State, our souls are expendable
Inner exultation is the final rebellion
We thought it’d be so easy
Like a walk in Zuccotti Park
Chopping down the cherry tree
Chopping down the Bodhi Tree
Show me how to be a joyful subversive
The emerald light that caught my eye was just a vacant bathroom sign
Gimme friction
Staring at my feed, staring down the barrel of a gun
To the corporate State, our souls are expendable
Inner exultation is the final rebellion
To love can’t be learned from a moving image
The body can’t wait, it aches
To touch the raw nirvana
In three-dimensional space
