about

to Marta
everything started from a very painful experience and became a political reflection but i believe that personal and public are inseparable. one month my friend got a deportation letter because she didn’t work enough. and i was dumped by my lover or actually exchanged for a prettier girl. i got very depressed and then realised how deeply my thoughts and feelings are penetrated by capitalism. how we are trained to estimate our value in relation to our work or in relation to other people. how we started treating each other as commodities to consume and base our self esteem on it. useful or redundant.

Марті
усе почалося з дуже болючого досвіду і стало політичною рефлексією, але я вірю, що особисте і суспільне - нероздільне. одного місяця моя подруга отримала лист про депортацію, тому що вона не достатньо працювала. і тоді ж мене покинув коханець чи, власне, обміняв на привабливішу дівчину. у мене була велика депресія і потім я усвідомила, як глибоко мої думки і почуття пронизані капіталізмом. як нас привчили оцінювати наше значення у відношенні до роботи, чи у відношенні до інших людей. як ми почали ставитися одні до одних як товари для споживання і будувати на цьому нашу самооцінку. кориcну або надлишкову.

lyrics

rules are very simple – she said
you have to like me, respect me
and don’t hurt
and all he says is darling
see you later honey
you’ve got what it takes
just how I like it there

days have passed or maybe hours in her head
and all she gets is a love letter from the state

how many hours have you worked?
are you useful to the state?
ain’t there better citizens?
ain’t there better girls?

rules are very simple – she said
i don’t expect anything
just want to share
and all he says is
darling
you are so sexy honey
she swallows word as pills
becomes commodity

days have passed or maybe hours in her head
and all she gets is a love letter from the state

suicide tendencies, have you experienced this?
oh, how have you been, can’t you stay productive?
