LowHero.DLL - The Ballad

This is an electro-alt-pop track with western shtick and anti-commercialist, anti-consumerist lyrics. This is a very timely choice given the current global economic state. There are many tricky little elements in this work and I think you’ll find it fresh and somewhat inspired.

This is a cover of an original track by Snog, released in 1997 on the album BUY ME, I’LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Lyrics

When the working day is done
I refuse to belong to anyone.
And at night when I try to sleep
I hear the house of commerce in my dreams…

Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns everything I do.
Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns all of me and owns all of you.

There’s no charge,
there’s no crime,
but we’re all doing time.
To be honest there’s not much I can do
but to sing a bad ballad for you.

I could suggest sabotage,
but success might prove a mirage.

‘cause Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns everything I do.
Somehow, someone, somewhere
owns all of me and owns all of you.
