(just free your mind – your body is not my concern; who is this person? i don’t know them) smick smack clickety clack floating free morphing transforming no shape always changing beautiful a new world (who am i?) GENERAL STRIKE! vortex transgress transgress transgress revolution of the mind not the world (there is no world) owing no one but me no obligations (the invisible committee, isn’t it so very pretty?) just occupy always occupy everywhere occupy here an occupy there an occupy everywhere an occu-pie-pie autonomy is a beautiful word to me i imagine myself free because i say i am no matter what happens in afghanistan smash a window, smash a mind eat a beer, drink the rind don't worry what we leave behind we are the occupiers and we don't care [fin sequence]
