F#5 B5 C#5  
Hi! I'm your video DJ  
F#5 B5 C#5  
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes  
F#5 B5 C#5 F#5 B5 C#5  
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go  
F#5 B5 C#5  
My job is to help destroy  
F#5 B5 C#5  
What's left of your imagination  
F#5 B5 C#5  
By feeding you endless doses  
F#5 B5 C#5  
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage  
F#5 B5 C#5  
So don't create Be sedate  
F#5 B5 C#5  
Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial  
F#5 B5 C#5  
If we have our way even you will believe (Fun fun fun... ends)  
F#5  
This is the future of rock and roll  
 
(M.T.V GET OFF THE AIR!)  
 

F#5 B5 A5  
How far will you go  
F#5 B5 A5  
How low will you stoop  
B5 A5 B5 A5  
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill  
F#5 B5 A5  
You've turned rock and roll rebellion  
F#5 B5 A5  
Into Pat Boone sedation  
B5 A5 B5 D5  
Making sure nothing's left of the imagination  
C#5 B5

F#5 B5 A5 F#5 B5 A5  
See the latest rejects from the muppet show  
B5 A5  
Wag their tits and their dicks  
B5 A5  
As they lip-synch on screen  
F#5  
There's something I don't like  
B5 A5 F#5 B5 A5  
About a band who always smiles  
B5 A5  
Another tax write-off  
B5 D5  
For some schmuck who doesn't care  
 
M.T.V. Get off the air...  
 
Get off the air  
 
Get off the air

C#5 B5  
And so it was  
C#5 B5  
Our beloved corporate gods  
F#5 E5 F#5 E5  
Claimed they created rock video  
C#5 B5 C#5 B5  
Allowing it to sink as low in one year  
F#5 E5 C#5  
As commercial TV has in 25  
C#5 B5  
"It's the new frontier," they say  
A5 G#5  
It's wide open, anything can happen  
C#5  
But you've got a lot of nerve  
B5  
To call yourself a pioneer  
A5  
When you're too god-damn conservative  
G#5  
To take real chances.  
 

C#5 B5  
Tin-eared  
C#5 B5 F#5  
Graph-paper brained accountants  
E5 F#5 E5  
Instead of music fans  
C#5 B5 C#5 B5  
Call all the shots at giant record companies now  
F#5 E5 C#5  
The lowest common denominator rules  
C#5  
Forget honesty  
B5  
Forget creativity  
A5  
The dumbest buy the mostest  
G#5  
That's the name of the game  
C#5  
But sales are slumping  
B5  
And no one will say why  
A5 G#5  
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?  
C#5 B5 F#5  
M.T.V. - Get off the air!  
F#5  
NOW!
