Lyrics

Too Much Information

[Chorus]

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

[Verse]

I've seen the whole world six times over

Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover

I've seen the whole world six times over

Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover

[Refrain]

Overkill, overview

Over my dead body

Over me, over you

Over everybody

[Chorus]

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

[Chorus]

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

[Chorus]

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

[Verse]

I've seen the whole world six times over

Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover

I've seen the whole world six times over

Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover

[Refrain]

Overkill, overview

Over my dead body

Over me, over you

Over everybody

[Chorus]

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane

Too much information running through my brain

Too much information driving me insane
