Story behind the song
Words and Music by Eric Steffensen. All guitars, vocals and bass by Eric Steffensen. Drums by Brian Stephens. Mixed by Ed Unger at Blue Sound Studios, Atlanta, GA. Copyright 2004 by Eric Steffensen. With so much information available to us, and so much that we're required to remember just to be a "professional", sometimes everything seems like a blur. Sometimes just being able to focus long enough to accomplish anything is a daunting task.
Lyrics
Five hundred channels but nothings on A box full of email makes me yawn This signal to noise depresses me My knees are bucklin' The weight of all I must retain can't be supported by my simple frame I feel so overwhelmed I feel so overwhelmed Overloaded, befuddled and confused I feel so overwhelmed Can't go on the web I've seen it all I can't read the paper; it won't enthrall It's just the same thing every day. The gods are chucklin' 'Cause all the stuff I must retain Can't be recycled by my simple brain I feel so overwhelmed I feel so overwhelmed Overloaded, befuddled and confused I feel so overwhelmed Seems like everyone wants to squander my time And everyone wants to talk on my dime Evereyone wants to point out my crimes My knees are bucklin' The weight of all I must retain Can't be supported by my simple brain The gods are chucklin 'Cause all the stuff I must retain Can't be recyled by my simple brain
