Joe Jackson - T.V. Age lyrics

Here we stand -

remote control buttons in our sweaty little hands

As one man -

we're lining up and waiting for someone's command

We don't move -

we sent out for food, get the news on video

I can prove -

there's no need for movies, we got HBO

In the

T.V. Age

They're out there somewhere

you know the force has got a lot of power - but what makes you think it gives a shit about you, who are you anyway?

They're taking over

and I believe - the aliens have to take a physical form on our planet - so why not one with 13 channels

They're out there somewhere

Times must change

this ain't the stone age, we don't have rocks in our heads

What's so strange -

we don't work no more, so why get out of bed

T.V. rules -

pretty soon you won't be able to turn it off at all

All you fools -

then it'll turn you off - your back's against the wall

In the T.V. Age
