about

Back in the 70s, Benjamin Russell saw a watch ad in a magazine, "For the transistorized man". This inspired one of his first rock songs. In the 80s the song morphed into the Computerized Man. There were two prototypes, the first was basically the original song with just the change in title. The other, built with synths and sequencers lay dormant until now.

Enter Rob Stuart. His production wizardry has transformed COMPUTERIZED MAN #2 into the song being released now. Plug in and have some fun with the machines!

lyrics

COMPUTERIZED MAN #2 - lyrics by Benjamin Russell

I fall asleep
To the sound
Of the machines

And I will awake
To coffee
With my machines (I'm happy)

I-I-I-I
I am the computer - computerized man

Makes me nervous
When things break down
But I can fix it - I can fix it

I am alone
In my car
With my machines

And I like to dream
Of the future
With my machines (I'm happy)

I-I-I-I
I am the computer - computerized man

There's a circuit in my soul
That helps me keep complete control
There's a circuit in my brain
That keeps me ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking
Keeps me sane

I don't panic
When systems crash
'Cause I can fix it - I can fix it

I-I-I-I
I am the computer - computerized man
