You'll never make the charts if you sing about repression because pretending to be in control is a national obsession. Even when the self-control is let loose as aggression. "Oh, you know he doesn't mean it man! It's his natural expression." Some say the constant hammering is following a beat, and pop-songs heard to pass the time will break up the routine. In some hazy day pre-radio you'd hear the hammers sing. Now they shout above the pop-songs, go unnoticed, and give in. It claims to break up the routine-becomes a part of it-but no signs of improvement in the way the hammers hit. You see the way the workers act when the chains relax bit. Does it indicate their mental state as happy, clean and fit? Clocking in, clocking out again. After day long happy turns its prime reaction time: blob out horizontal to the spectacle sublime. Replacing conversation space with pleasantries that rhyme. "Have a good weekend folks, just make sure you're back by nine." So when the batteries when flat and the DJ went off air, the atmosphere in the factory made everyone aware they'd been replacing interaction with dependency on sound. So when the pop-songs came back on, they turned the whole thing down.
