Too Much Information
Watchin on the web, with the radio on high,
Readin capers in the papers, on the BBC or Sky:
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Too much infotainment for me to keep my brain in gear.
Reporter talkin to me – he's enthusin bout the news,
Through the door, Channel Four, cramming in with camera crews:
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Too much infotainment for me to keep my brain in gear.
Recession in my ear, compression in my head,
Vote green, vote yellow, vote blue, vote red -
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Too much infotainment for me to keep my brain in gear.
Download, ev'ry day, expectin text and twitter,
Blog fast, podcast, the roar of aural litter – ah!
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Too much infotainment for me to keep my brain in gear.
Tunin to a local station, buttons on the telly –
Spread rash – no cash – feel their pain – brain jelly:
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Too much infotainment for me to keep my brain in gear.
Headlines full of breadlines and deadlines for an audit -
No time for March or April, but they say you best record it:
Too much infotainment, too much infotainment,
Don't want communication – close it down and leave me be.
