". . . nor is the bleak work camps on the city’s outskirts—where labourers are crowded six, eight, even twelve to a room, often without air-conditioning or functioning toilets—part of the official tourist image of a city of luxury, without poverty or slums. "
- "Fear and Money in Dubai" by Mike Davis
lyrics
wake up
white sun
white sand
head out
click clack
cattle cars
dead city
sell self
broken body
repeat
click clack
cattle cars
it's not what they promised
it's not what they said
sheetmetal trailers
month-old bread
no paychecks
and no passports
shoveling shit
at four-star resorts
what's the difference
between you and slaves
all you get
is starvation wage
yuppies laugh
you keep them fed
it's not what they promised
and now you're dead
