MTV makes me want to smoke crack
Fall out of the window and I'm never coming back
MTV makes me want to get high
Can't get it right no matter how I try

And everything's perfect
And everything's bright
And everything's slick
And everything's uptight
I love those videos
I watch them all day
I love the way they look
And I love the things they say

The pictures are nice
And the girls are nice
And the music is nice
And everything's so nice and

MTV makes me want to smoke crack
Fall out of the window and I'm never coming back
MTV makes me want to get high
Fall out of the window and I'll never say goodbye

And I'm counting out the pennies and I'm losing my brains
Callers in the distance and smog in the air
No one on the streets, there's no one anywhere
MTV makes me want to smoke crack
Fall out of the window and I'm never coming back
MTV makes me want to get high
I'm gonna get it right
I can't get it right
I can't get it right
I can't get it right
I can't get it right
I can't get it right
I can't get it right
