Intro: F# B C# (2x bass only)
F# B C#
Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair

Woof down the beer (2x and continues on background)

F# B C#
Hi! I'm your video DJ
F# B C#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
F# B C#What's left of your imagination
F# B C#By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
So don't create Be sedate
F# B C#Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial
F# B C#If we have our way even you will believe (Fun fun fun... ends)
This is the future of rock and roll
(M.T.V GET OFF THE AIR!)
F# B A
How far will you go
F# B AHow low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill
You've turned rock and roll rebellion
F# B AInto Pat Boone sedation
B A B DMaking sure nothing's left of the imagination
C# B
M.T.V. Get off the

F# B A F# B A
See the latest rejects from the muppet show
B AWag their tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
B A F# B AAbout a band who always smiles
B AAnother tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care
M.T.V. Get off the air...
Get off the air
Get off the air

C# B
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
F# E F# EClaimed they created rock video
C# B C# BAllowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
A G#It's wide open, anything can happen
C#mBut you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
AWhen you're too god-damn conservative
G#To take real chances.
C# B
Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
E F# EInstead of music fans
C# B C# BCall all the shots at giant record companies now
The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
BForget creativity
AThe dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game
But sales are slumping
BAnd no one will say why
A G#Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
C# B F#
M.T.V. - Get off the air!
F#
