Song #4 of the 2022 RPM Challenge.
I like this one. If this were a real album and I had to pick a single for release this one would be on the short list. Even if it is in 6/4 time and GarageBand's drummers almost always put a pointless crash…

Pushing buttons is how I made almost all of this album. It's also how a lot of us make a living. It's also how various forms of media keep us engaged and enraged.
