about
My new single ‘Free To Do’
Produced by Mark Hallman
I am online therefore I am. Click, like, share and tell me all your secrets.
The tighter we are chained to cyberspace the more we are manipulated. Micro-targeted advertising dictates what we buy and what we believe. The Billionaire far-right together with unregulated social media unleashes a never-ending firehose of lies. The politics of Bolsonaro, Trump and Brexit use online brainwashing to overwhelm voters with racism and hatred.
If we are locked into this system, we have no escape. The lowest hanging fruit are those plagued by ignorance, fear, and resentment. The common enemies we are told are minorities, refugees, the impoverished and those who challenge the system which keeps us in chains.
lyrics
I am online, therefore I am
Click, like, share and tell me all your secrets
Intrusion, control and manipulation
The Gods of Silicon Valley
Tech emperors of tyranny
A corporate world of surveillance
Inside the hegemony of Facebook and Google
The monetisation of cyberspace
Provides a footprint of psychological evidence
The evisceration of privacy rights
Data is the new oil, sold to the highest bidder
Giving them complete access to our lives
What we love, what we hate and what we fear
Every one of us is traced, tracked and profiled
We are the commodity
There are no restrictions
On the terms and conditions
Login
You are free to do
As we tell you
Dark money, hedge funds and disaster speculators
The prison of authoritarianism
Is the billionaire crusade of the far right
Breitbart and Fox news
Aaron Banks, the Mercers and Koch families
Work in tandem with big tech conglomerates
Steve Bannon’s chaos theory
Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘move fast and break things’
Are cut from the same dirty cloth
Those plagued by ignorance, fear and hatred
Are the lowest hanging fruit
They are completely overwhelmed and brainwashed
By micro-targeted advertisements
Preying on their vulnerabilities
As click bait for endless streams of disinformation and propaganda
Scapegoats used as common enemies;
Minorities, migrants, refugees, and the impoverished
They are blamed for everything
Protecting a society based on inequality and hatred
Login
You are free to do
As we tell you
We are all complicit
In our staged democracy
Cambridge Analytica is the new model
Free elections are a thing of the past
Hacking, turnout suppression and vote rigging
A new politics of xenophobic despots
Legitimised inside an online nightmare
A voyeuristic fetish for violence
Live streamed massacres
The contamination of society
Anonymous swarms of resentment and harassment
Whilst those who challenge the system are demonised
With a firehose of cruelty, trolling and unchallenged lies
We do not own our data, our data owns us

Sean Taylor’s unique songwriting is a late night cocktail of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Jack Kerouac; With voice that is a cross between John Martyn and Van Morrison and a guitar style that sounds like an acoustic Stevie Ray Vaughan jamming with JJ Cale...more
