Joe Jackson - T.V. Age lyrics

rate me

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
