Lyrics for T.V. Age
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 send 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 we won't be able to turn it off at all) All you fools - (Then it'll turn you off - your backs against the wall) In the - T.V. age (C) 1982 by Albion Music Ltd.
