MTV - Get Off the Air
Dead Kennedys

Fun, fun, fun in the fluffy chair

Flame up the herb

Wolf down the beer

- (click!) -


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 there's nothing left of the imagination


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-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 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 goddamn 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!
