PORUS versuri

PORUS lyrics by Akira The Don, Marshall McLuhan

Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages go right through us

We now have the means
To keep everybody under surveillance
No matter
What part of the world they’re in
We can put
Them under surveillance
This has become
One of the main occupations
Of mankind
Just watching other people
And keeping a record
Of their goings-on
Invading privacy
In fact
Just ignoring it

Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us
Everybody’s bеcome porous
The light
And the mеssages
Go right through us

By the way
At this moment
We are on the air
And on the air
We do not have any physical body
When you’re on the telephone
Or on radio
Or on TV
You don’t have a physical body
You’re just an image
On the air
When you don’t have a physical body
You’re a discarnate being
You have a very different relation
To the world around you
And this I think
Has been one of the big effects
Of the electric age
It has deprived people really
Of their private identity
Everybody
Tends to merge his identity
With other people
At the speed of light
It’s called being Mass Man

Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us
Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us

By the way
One of the big marks
Of the loss of identity
Is nostalgia
And so revivals are
All hands in
In every phase of life today
Revivals of clothing
Of dances
Of music
Of shows
Of everything
We live by the revival
It tells us who we are
Or were

Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us
Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us
Everybody’s become porous
The light
And the messages
Go right through us
