I need you to know... I want to be clear... this can't happen again. I'm not going back. I'm not going to be a fucking Power Caller. That's a good decision. But I... - I still have problems with all this. - I'm not... Only something happening to you turned you against them. Okay. But I know how they view me. How I look in the eyes of fucking WorryFree and RegalView. They just view me as another one of their fucking creatures to control and to manipulate. And that's not me.

Maybe it's saying that capitalism dehumanizes them. Maybe the artist is being literal. Maybe WorryFree is turning workers into horses. And literally fucking them?
