about

Today is Thursday. Is it? How can you distinguish one day from another when your job consists in repeating the same task over and over again. Thousands of times. Facing a machine… It is a fact that the growing use of machinery and the division of labour which both accompanied the rise of capitalism led to the dehumanisation of labour. And workers today are really part of the machine. First, because the repetition of one task requiring fewer skills is nothing compared to the satisfaction of creating a whole product from A to Z. The worker is just making copies of copies, alone with the machine on the assembly line. The other reason is that repetitious work alters workers’ bodies. Their bodies are twisted from all sides, transformed into instruments of labour. Their own bodies are just tools full of cysts and cracks which try to adapt to the task that they have to repeat thousands of times. Everyday the same day as the day before. Today is Thursday. And yesterday was too. A copy of a copy.

lyrics

making copies
copies of copies
my body becomes part of the machine
my hand looks like a tool, that’s what it is

everything’s a copy
a copy of a copy
working in a factory and insomnia are the same thing
I myself am a copy of my old man

making copies
from nine to five
I am a machine

today’s Thursday
it could be any other day
Monday to Friday
all days are just the same

making copies
copies of copies
my body becomes part of the machine

everything’s a copy
a copy of a copy
I can’t see the end of it

today’s Thursday
it could be any other day
Monday to Friday
all days are just the same
