Joe Jackson Tv Age Lyrics

Tv 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 

  - 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
