So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegtable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have are way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll
How far will you go
How low willl 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 of the imagi-
nation
Chorus:
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 tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There's somthing 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 corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has it 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 to god-dammed conserva-
tive
To take real chances
Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record compa-
nies now
The lowest commen denominater 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 they put out
One to many lousy records?!?
M.T.V Get off the air
Now!
