Not an Instrumental

from Hair of the Cat by Englewood

lyrics

Got spammy email filling up my inboxes,
voicemail cramming up four phone lines.
Instant messages on half of my computer screen,
the rest is streaming the latest headlines.
I don't do Facebook, I don't do Twitter.
My life doesn't have enough glamour and glitter
to make it interesting to anyone but me.
If I have anything to say I should write a diary.

There's so much static, there's so much noise,
but I love my gadgets, I love my toys.
I can use 'em for good, I can use them for evil.
And it doesn't have to be all about me.
Well it’s enough to drive me mental –
I should just write instrumentals.

There's so much static, there's so much noise,
but I love my gadgets, I love my toys.
I can use 'em for good, I can use them for evil.
And it doesn't have to be all about me.
Well if I wasn't sentimental, I could just write instrumentals.

Remember when a diary was something that you locked,
a place to store your most private thoughts,
or maybe just to list what you did today.
Now everybody's talking but does
anyone have anything to say.

There's so much static, there's so much noise,
but I love my gadgets, I love my toys.
I can use 'em for good, I can use them for evil.
And it doesn't have to be all about me.
Well it’s enough to drive me mental –
I should just write instrumentals.
There's so much static, there's so much noise,
but I do love my gadgets, I love my toys.
I can use 'em for good, I can use them for evil.
And it doesn't have to be all about me.
Well if I wasn't sentimental, I could just write instrumentals.
