FAWM: "Human Fracking"

Human Fracking

Liner Notes

New technology brings new exploitation and our attention is what they want. I nicked the title and topic from a news article.

Lyrics

[Chorus] Let’s go! Let’s go! Human fracking Exploit the fissures of the mind Let’s go! Let’s go! Human cracking Monetise mankind Half their waking hours, glued to their screens Let’s go down into the mine and plunder this seam

Turn up the pressure, turn up the volume Keep ‘em scrolling, with new content Keep ‘em hooked, keep ‘em on it That’s how, we make our profit

[Chorus]

No one stopped us, no one tried Now we've drilled inside your mind Your focus, our black gold A commodity to be bought and sold

[Chorus]

Don't look at that flower Don't look at that tree Or you'll threaten the basis Of our economy Keep your eyes lowered Keep staring at that glass 'Cos if you paid us no attention We'd vanish up our arse

This sounds marvelously unhinged, which feels like the perfect compliment for that lyric!

@pooka 2d

I absolutely love your quivery vocals in this one. Very prescient, too.

Absolutely splendid. Agree on the B52s and DKs vibe comments, this is a cracker. Sure, it's about the way the world is descending into a torture nexus dystopian hellscape, but you can't have everything...

I like the analogy used here - fracking, indeed. Was getting Devo/B52/Femmes/Johnhny Rotton vibes. This would be so much fun live The guitar solo brought a nice change of vibe intermission.
