We can make your world brighter at the flick of a switch
We can give you solutions and they're making us rich
If you want it we can build it
If we build it you can use it
When you use it you will break it
When you break it we can build it all over again
We've got all the great thinkers, all the cash that we need
We care less of the hungry when there's lifestyles to feed
If you want it we can build it
If we build it you can use it
When you use it you will break it
When you break it we can build it all over again
Build Break Repeat Technology
Build Break Repeat Technology
Build Break Repeat Technology
Build Break Repeat Technology...

Read all about it, I'm in the news
Read all about it, how about you
Read all about it, I'm in the news
Read all about it, the headline news
We're a nation raised on riffs, repeated bars of four
If you really want to know the world you gotta pay a little more
Attention to the spaces that lie in between the lines
Unspoken truths, hidden agendas, signposts of our time
Read all about it, I'm in the news
Read all about it, how about you
Read all about it, I'm in the news
Read all about it, the headline news
Take a little time to see what's really going down
Don't waste your time on Candy Crush and sharing memes around
Make sure to vote the wrongs out and vote the right ones in
And realise that right is wrong, the left will always win

Take Good Care

I'm old enough to see the signs
What's now is yours used to be mine
You've got my house and all the rest
So won't you grant me one request?
Take good care of my baby
Take good care of my girl
Take good care of her, take good care of her
Take good care of my baby, take good care
I'm sure you treat her fine enough
If you're in love then you're in love
I guess she wants you more than me
That's what she said, do you believe?
Take good care of your baby
Take good care of your girl
Take good care of her, take good care of her
Take good care of your baby, 'cause I'm watching her....

Lo-fi, Sixties influenced guitar pop. Rough, ready and bloody catchy.
