Bright light, touch screen, constant motion
Keyboard, mouse click, complete devotion
It’s like I’m covered in cellophane
I can see but I can’t hear or breathe
Like looking out from a windowpane
I can see but I can’t feel or breathe
Actuator, sensors antennae, user interface
Dark slabs of omnipresent polycarbonate
It’s like I’m covered in cellophane
I can see but I can’t hear or breathe
Like looking out from a windowpane
I can see but I can’t feel or breath
Machine learning, voice activation assisted GPS
Beneath screens in hands, the seeds of our distress
It’s like I’m covered in cellophane
I can see but I can’t hear or breathe
Like looking out from a windowpane
I can see but I can’t feel or breath

So many words, so little meaning
The jargon flows, it burns my ears
We’re told it’s new, we’re told it’s different
So why has it been the same for years?
Will you work for exposure
Just like the interns
Way back in Egypt
When they built the pyramids?
Lash yourself to the wheel of progress
You keep the lash but the progress is theirs
Throw yourself into the dustbin of his-to-ry
You keep the dust, no need to share
Will you work for exposure
Just like the interns did
Way back in ancient Egypt
When they built the pyramids?
I am a real self starter
I finish what I start
And if I have one weakness
It’s that I work too hard
I am a real team player
There is no I in team
I couldn’t be more excited
This job would be my dream
So many words, so little meaning
The jargon flows, it burns my ears
We’re told it’s new, we’re told it’s different
So why has it been the same for years?
Will you work for exposure
Just like the interns did
Way back in ancient Egypt
When they built the pyramids
I am a real self starter
I finish what I start
And if I have one weakness
It’s that I work too hard
I am a real team player
There is no I in team
I couldn’t be more excited
This job would complete me

Pass It On

I’m a little 8-ball
Hit me with your cue
I’m a little 8-ball
I’ll know exactly what to do
You hit me, I’ll hit them
We’ll pass it on!
I’m a shiny screw-head
Why don’t you give me a twist
I’m a shiny screw-head
It goes something like this
You hit me, I’ll hit them
Pass it on!
Baby baby pass it, Pass it ON!
We’ll pass it on!
I’m a little 8-ball
Hit me with your cue
I’m a little 8-ball
I’ll know exactly what to do
You hit me, I’ll hit them
Pass it on!
Baby baby pass it, Pass it ON!
We’ll pass it on!

The Right Way

They’re talking talking at you every night
Trying to tell you that what’s black is really white
And if you let ‘em they’ll get into your head
Soon you’ll be repeating every single word they’ve said
They’re talk talk talking at you every day
But you don’t have to listen to a word they say
That’s the right way
You can squash squash squash ‘em like a little bug
And all you have to do is to pull the plug
That’s the right way
Pissin’ in the pool is just what they do
So it’s time to get out and look for something new
‘Cause if you let ‘em they’ll get under your skin
Time to wreck the door so they can’t get back get in
They’re talk talk talking at you every day
But you don’t have to listen to a word they say
That’s the right way
You can squash squash squash ‘em like a little bug
And all you have to do is to pull the plug
That’s the right way
It takes a moment of time
For you to step out of line
And soon you’re feeling fine!
They’re talking talking at you every night
Trying to tell you that what’s black is really white
And if you let ‘em they’ll get into your head
Soon you’ll be repeating every single word they’ve said
They’re talk talk talking at you every day
But you don’t have to listen to a word they say
That’s the right way
You can squash squash squash ‘em like a little bug
And all you have to do is to pull the plug
That’s the right way

Different Train

I’m trying to get to you
I’m starting to think you’re on a different train
And I wonder what you are
And I wonder what to do
And I wonder what’s the most direct route
To get back home to you
