M.T.V. Get Off the Air

Fun fun fun in the fluffy chair

Flame up the herb

Woof down the beer

Fun fun fun in the fluffy chair

Flame up the herb

Woof 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 endless 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 low will you stoop

To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion into Pat Boone sedation

Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

MTV get off the

MTV get off the

MTV get off the air!

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 who always smiles

Another tax write-off for some schmuck who doesn't care

MTV get off the

MTV get off the

MTV get off the air!

MTV get off the

MTV get off the

MTV get off the air!

Get off the air

Get off the air

Get off the air

And so it was our beloved corporate 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-damn 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 it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

MTV get off the air!

Now!
