Like prisoners in the perfect jail The workers needn't be watched Because they watch themselves Not only those who give the orders But those who command what orders to give We are guard and guarded at once Status, position, competition, reward We are guard and guarded at once Misdirection, deception, illusion, control Teetering just on the edge, the edge of the abyss The meaningless nothing, the grim infinite We are guard + guarded at once
