about

The first single from the new album of the same name - due out in Nov 23.

lyrics

In every generation we need some inspiration
Just a little more information please.
Cause you can speak to people
And you can write the sequel
But if your life is like a flickering screen
The constant computations and countless calculations,
The way the camera has been looking at me lately.
I trade this information
For lack of inflammation
On petrol prices and my ol’ trick knee
There’s inflammation on my ol’ trick knee.

I’d like to help you Jack,
But my green stack
Has been looking a little slack lately.
If we could walk together
And maybe talk together
There's a chance that I could dig your scene!
The younger generation with mass communication
And big brother in the bathroom basement.
I trade this information for loose affiliation.
People are the world’s worst agitation,

Look out! It's the Information Ape!
Straight ahead to the Information Age!
Ride the wave with me,
Ride the wave with me,
Looks like it's breaking every day.

So every generation must find the inspiration
Just a little more motivation please.
Cause you can speak to people,
And we can write the sequel
But if your life is a recurring dream.
Another day is dawning,
Another cat is yawning,
Another sunrise on the horizon.
And all the people weeping
And all the people sleeping
And everybody is rubbing their eyes.
