Become No One

from The Greater Good by Rasmus Fynbo

/

about

I wrote this song a few years back, but never got around to finish it and had a hard
time coming up with any meaningful lyrics for it.

But then I read a great (but not very well written) book called “Pseudo work” about all
the work we do that doesn’t really contribute to anything. All the stupid procedures we
follow that in theory were a great idea, but in practicality amount to very little. I wrote
the song about a man who slowly withers away in the pointless sea of pseudo work.

lyrics

Like a dying ember
In the late November
I sit idle, nervous
In stressful lack of purpose

But don’t you see
There’s no work for me
I’ll put on a show
Time’s moving so slow

It's easy, too easy
To be become, become no one
It's easy, too easy
To be gone, just a walk-on

A flood of abbreviations
Bullshit for generations
The end of social relations
In my work life autumn
I just die of boredom
But that’s not a workplace problem?

So, don’t you see
There’s no work for me
I’ll put on a show
Time’s moving so slow

It's easy, too easy…

And already we're fighting on a slippery slope.
And already we're hanging on to a lonely hope
And some day we're drowning in the landfill

It's easy, too easy…
