Office Block Cyborg is a frankly rather unfair rant about people who work in offices, but OTOH is one of my more successful recordings I think, perhaps because I kept things quite simple. Plus, it has a memorable and quite enjoyable shout-along refrain.

Also, it has a line about "nowheresville dot com" which at the time seemed terribly futuristic and with-it, but just a few short years later has "naff" stamped all over it, which just goes to show what a rubbish place to live the future really is. The production highlight here is the twinned differentially pitch-shifted vocals in the middle 8 section; they're overproduction-tastic!

Office block cyborg made of steel and glass,
You draw your power from your leader's a*se,
Office block cyborg your heart is lead,
Your mind still functions but your brain is dead,
You've got to fight, fight, fight for life,

Office block cyborg got to keep well oiled,
You wake each morning and your spreadsheet's soiled,
Office block cyborg your design is flawed,
You'll die without your ethernet umbilical cord,
You've got to fight, fight, fight for life,

Consumed by your machinery you've forgotten where you're from,
Your URL points straight to hell it's nowheresville.com.
You haven't got a vision but you think you've got a plan,
To strive towards perfection as the cybernetic man,

Office block cyborg your dreams are dust,
Your steel that gleamed is turning fast to rust,
Office block cyborg your servos whine,
As your replacement rolls off the production line,
You've got to fight, fight, fight for life,
