Oh Lord (Bad News) takes the counter consumerism anthem Mercedes Benz sung by Janis Joplin into the digital realm. A light hearted take on computers and the emerging artificial intelligence and 'their' material needs.

Oh Lord

Oh lord won't you buy me a Merceedes Benz My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends Worked hard all my life time no help from my friends So oh lord won't you buy me a Merceedes Benz,

Oh lord won't you buy me a color TV Dialing for dollars is trying to find me I wait for delivery each day until 3 So oh lord won't you buy me a color TV

Oh lord won't you buy me a night on the town I'm counting on you lord, please don't let me down Prove that you love me and buy the next round Oh lord won't you buy me a night on the town,

Oh lord won't you buy me a Merceedes Benz. My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends Worked hard all my lifetime no help from my friends, So oh lord won't you buy me a Merceedes Benz
