"M.T.V.-Get Off The Air"
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!
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
M.T.V. Get off the / M.T.V. Get off the / M.T.V. Get off the air / Get off the air
See the latest rejects from the muppet show / Wag their Wobbly Lime Jellys and their Hampton Wicks 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
M.T.V. Get off the / M.T.V. Get off the / M.T.V. Get off the air / Get off the air
And so it was our beloved corporate Roddys 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 Roddy-Desperate Dan 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 most-est / 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?
M.T.V. Get off the air NOW!
*Quaaludes is an American term for Mandrax (apparently!)
