Joe Jackson
T.V. Age
[Verse 1]
Here we stand
(Remote control buttons in our sweaty little hands)
As one man
(We're lining up and waiting for someone's command)

[Verse 2]
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)

[Chorus]
In the
T.V. age

[Bridge]
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
(I believe the aliens have to take a physical form on our planet
So why not one with thirteen channels?)
They're out there somewhere
[Verse 3]
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?)

[Verse 4]
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)

[Chorus]
In the
T.V. age
