T.V. Age Lyrics

words by Joe Jackson; music by Joe Jackson and Steve Tatler)

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 Joe Jackson - T.V. Age - http://motolyrics.com/joe-jackson/tv-age-lyrics.html
- 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
