Written about my ongoing frustration with technology which is meant to make things easier but ends up making things more complicated and frustrating. AND.... intrusive..!!!! AND.... it influences us to be uncaring and unsympathetic
lyrics
Vs 1
Trouble........
Always seems to come my way.
I wake up to it every day.
I wish that it would go away
To many messages on my phone,
I just wanna be... Left alone
Chorus
Technological drone, always tied to my phone,
Never leave me alone, all the media drones.
Vs2
Trouble, (trouble trouble)
Tell me that I need it all,
be big when I wanna be small,
away from the mercenary squall
one size never fits all.
technological traps, always giving me crap.
Chorus.
Solo.Guitar
Chorus.
Wake up.....wake up messed up in my head.
Struggle.....struggle to get out of bed.
Human....human race what a disgrace.
Don't ask to show my face.
Every day feels the same,
Every day I feel the shame.
Chorus(alt)
I only want to beat the call,
I always take the fall,
technological traps,
always giving me crap.
Solo Keys
Vs3
Take it... Everybody wants to own a piece
Grab it...How many palms you going to grease.
Keep it ....To yourself, nobody wants to share.
Kill it.....Are you ever gonna care.
Chorus.
Outro Solo Guitar.
