Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair

Flame up the herb

Wolf down the beer

|
Hi!
|
I'm your video DJ
|
I always talk like I'm wigged out on Quaaludes
|
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
|
|
My job is to help destroy
|
What's left of your imagination
|
By feeding you various doses
|
Of sugar coated mindless garbage
|
|
So don't create
|
Be sedate
|
Be a vegetable at home
|
And thwack on that dial
|
If we have our way even you will believe this is the future of rock and roll
|
|
(MTV GET OFF THE AIR!)
|
|
How far will you go
|
How long will you stoop
|
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar coated will
|
|
You've turned rock and roll rebellion
|
Into Pat Boone Sedation
|
Making sure nothing's left of the imagination
|
|
Chorus:
|
MTV Get off the
|
MTV Get off the
|
MTV Get off the air
|
Get off the air
|
|
See the latest rejects from the muppet show
|
Wag their tits and their dicks
|
As they lip-synch on screen
|
|
There's something I don't like
|
About a band that always smiles
|
Another tax write-off
|
For some schmuck who doesn't care
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
And so it was
|
Our beloved corperate gods
|
Claimed they created rock video
|
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
|
As commercial TV has in 25
|
|
"It's the new frontier," they say
|
It's wide open, anything can happen
|
But you've got a lot of nerve
|
To call yourself a pioneer when you're too god-damned conservative
|
To take real chances
|
|
Tin-eared
|
Graph-paper brained accountants
|
Instead of music fans
|
Call all the shots at giant record companies now
|
The lowest common denominator rules
|
Forget honesty
|
Forget creativity
|
The dumbest buy the mostest
|
That's the name of the game
|
|
But sales are slumping
|
And no one will say why
|
Could if be they put out
|
One too many lousy records?!?
|
|
MTV Get off the air
|
NOW!!!
