Gross and Conspicuous Error No. 1

Lyrics

Ian Burn: It is a G&CE to desire socialism with capitalist desire Speaker 2: Capitalism is in the mode of thought itself Burn: It reveals itself in the preposterous reification of psychology 2: As if psychology is discrete and ontologically distinct from ideology Burn: It is in the capitalist mode of thought to keep things separate 2: To keep the particular from the totality Burn: To keep us disunited so that its own servants 2: Sly capitalist priesthood of managers and entrepreneurs of every variety can unite us again Burn: To serve their cause and their class 2: The power elite Burn: So despite the lofty leather-chaired philosophical work on the mind-body dualism, the representatives of ? as culture can't put the world back together again

(There's a fucking spelling mistake)
