I Am Produced

Taken from "Mag Earwig!" 1997

"I am pressed, printed, stomped
And strategically removed
I am everybody
Insane without innocence
I am trapped, tricked, packaged
And shipped out
I am produced
I am produced
Pressed, printed, stomped, tripped
Trapped, tricked, packaged, shipped..."

Is this Bobs song about the pressure of being on a major label? Or just mans place in society these days? A classic song with a great message. Quite dark but a belter when done Live especially.

Definitely a live standout.

When ME! came out, thought this tune was a little self-indulgent if read too literally. A chorus might have helped flesh it out...
