From the recording Becoming
‘I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots’. Einstein
Is there any recovery from our fierce addiction to information and Media Blitz? Our Hero is a pathetic sot who discovers there isn’t a single orifice on him that isn’t being probed or invaded by some nefarious bot passing as a salesman. To top it off, he finds he’s acquired a taste for it. That’s my bud Billy Meech again, tearing it up on lead guitar.

Lyrics
Signals surround me
TVs everywhere
Cameras have found me
With bug-eyes they stare
Big Brother is watching
Knows just what I need
Too much information -
This can’t be good for me
Feelings left behind, realigned, unaware
Hammered, stone deaf and blind, but I just don’t care
Overloaded
Level’s over the top
Overloaded
Notifications just won’t stop
Overloaded
But I like it that way
Overly Loaded
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up
Media screaming
Louder day by day
Cell phone is calling
I hear and obey
I’m crazy-addicted
Tried to get off the sauce
But Tik-Tok rewired me
Now I’m hopelessly lost
I’m no longer me, no not one little bit
But what makes you think I even give a shit?
Overloaded
I’ve acquired a taste
Overloaded
Baby you ain’t lived until you’ve databased
Overloaded
And I need it that way
Overly Loaded
Turn me on
Turn me on
Turn me up
Turn me up
I need a fix
Bring it quick as you can
Gimme more celebrity boob jobs
Huffing culture from a spray can
I’m a junkie disaster
I’m a walking disease
Shot up all the way through to channel 83
Way past psychotic,
I’m AUTO-EROTIC!
Overloaded
Overloaded
Overloaded
Overly Loaded
Overloaded
I’ve acquired a taste
Overloaded
Make it stop
Overloaded
Overloaded
I’m gonna blow my top
Make it stop
Make it stop
Turn me off
Turn me off
