THE DEAD KENNEDYS MTV GET OFF THE AIR

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Wolf down the beer. (repeat)

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 destroy whats 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'n'roll

MTV GET OFF THE AIR!!!!!

How far will you go?
How low will you stoop?
To tranquilise our minds
with your sugar coated swill
You've turned Rock'roll rebellion
into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure there's nothing left of the imagination

MTV GET OFF THE
MTV GET OFF THE
MTV GET OFF THE AIR (REPEAT)

See the latest rejects from The Muppet Show
Shake their tits and their dicks as they lip sync 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 (REPEAT)

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.
Well you've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a pioneer
when your too god-damn conservative to take real chances

Tin-eared, Graph papered 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 game,
but sales are slumping,
and no one will say why

Could it be thy put out one too many lousy records....

MTV GET OFF THE AIR, NOW.

Written from memory, don't hate me if I got something wrong, I think I've remebered it mostly right. :D
