A lobby full of people
all are full of hope
where everybody thinks
he is the best
where talent and ego meet
technicians and phonies
a few musicians
but in all it’s all about the money
Hardly anyone of us will ever make it
be known beyond the city limits
will never win a competion
but everyone has to mark his territory
None of us will be famous
a fact that everyone ignores
it´s much easier to win the lottery
than to be a resident DJ
Talking about cooperation
make yourself big
makeing something up out of thin air
take pictures for the network
Text messages flying across the room
Hardly no one speaks
everyone read, write, tweet
So that at least one computer remembers you
because – it’s computer music
uploaded, archived for computers
Check iPhone, read emails, write a blog
Ask how many people were there
how many men
how many women
a question to which no one has an answer
They communicated
but not with people
with machines
talking to machines
talking to machines
talking to machines
talking to machines
no one speaks
talking
talking
talking
talking
to machines
no one speaks
to machines
to machines
talking
to machines
