Lyrics T.V. Age - Joe Jackson

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
