    Story Behind the Song
    BETTER INFORMATION was written with intent to encourage the pursuit of knowledge and discovery. The first version was written in the late 80s & performed by the a full band, including a horn section. While playing my original version for my friend, Jon Williams, he suggested that I recreate it with an accoustic feel and with new lyrics. I love my original version, but it is aimed purely at creating shock value--kinda Frank Zappaesque! This new version will appeal to a broader range of people, we agreed. Jon's idea for a title was 'Better Information' . So, I re-wrote the lyrics to reflect the above stated song message. The guys created the arrangement just prior to and during the recording process.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1:

    I’ve got better information & it feels so good
    I’ve got better information & it feels so good
    Well my head is achin’ cuz my cranium is full
    I can’t get enough that’s why I’m always at school

    Chorus 1:

    Better information
    The latest trend across the nation
    Plug yourself in ‘til your brain goes crash
    Then run to the bedroom & read all your trash

    Verse 2:

    I’ve got better information & it feels so good
    I’ve got better information; don’t you think you should?
    Well, sometimes I try to feed my head for 24 hours
    Yeah, sometimes I even readin’ while I’m tryin’ to take a shower

    Chorus 2:

    Gettin’ better information
    The latest trend--super saturation
    Fill it ‘til you can’t see no more
    Then run out to your friends--share & explore!

    Bridge:

    You just can’t give in at nature’s first sign
    You’ve got to wait ‘til you explode your mind!

    --- Instrumental Break---

    Verse 3:

    I’m gettin’ better information & it feels so good
    I got better information; don’t you think you should?
    Yeah, soak up all the knowledge, what a great sensation
    Maybe you’ll have the greatest mind in the nation!

    Repeat Chorus 1
