Living The Dream
Generating corpses is against policy, but generating old men in boxes is A-OK.
Background
Bernie Worrell is one my many musical influences. His bassline on Flashlight is legendary. This is my (poor) attempt at an homage to Bernie and his amazing Moog skills. As with all funk, the lyrics don’t matter. They are just there because people don’t seem to like instrumentals all that much.

Lyrics
Gonna stir
The boiling pot
Strike the iron
While it's hot.
Gonna poke
That big ol' bear.
You think I'm bothered?
Don't really care.
Here we are just
living the dream
(living the dream)
Here we are just
living the dream
(living the dream)
In the land of the free
(Living the dream)
Got my big ol house And my new car
(Living the dream)
like it don't mean a goddamned thing
(Living the dream )
For decades
Been in a cube
Not a luddite
Nor a rube
I know the system
Like the back of my hand
Cut my teeth way back
In corporate 'murica land
