Cyberc@ptivity from The Trilogy by Bärdo
Psych-Punk with a twist of Golden Earring, this all original Frank Whitly composition does not skimp on arrangement or harmonics. Drummer Phil B. King puts a Zeppelin type funkiness into it, and Stewart dominates the outro with a thumping bass solo. A dystopian ditty painting a technologically driven scene of lost privacy, digital profiling, and their implications for civil rights concludes with a killer robot! It is the finale of The Trilogy and a critique of technocratic social control.

Lyrics
In your car
In your home
It's watching you
You're never alone
It knows where you go everything you buy and sell
Your clicks, your texts, your calls, and emails
All seeing eye in the temple of security
Scanning all your faces for signs of disbelief
Cybercaptivity
In your computer
In your phone
At the red light cameras
And the grocery store
It knows where you go everything you buy and sell
Your clicks, your texts, your calls, and emails
All seeing eye in the temple of security
Scanning all your faces for signs of disbelief
Cybercaptivity
Civil rights we used to have a little
Privacy the veil is broke and brittle
Tracking you for power and a shekel
Hacking you profiled to the letter
Killer robot
Killer algorithm
Knows who's who
And thinks the herd needs thinning

Power trio Bärdo hustles up an all original repetoire of high energy music variously described as “Anger Pop” and “Zeppunk.” Complex, snaking arrangements, accomplished technique and eclectic song writing create fresh, engaging dynamics which engender a ’70’s Punk and Rock flavor, plus. Lyrically acerbic and often seedy, the band gorges itself on tongue-in-cheek social critique.
