F# Hi! I'm your video B DJ C#
I F# always talk like I'm B wigged out on C# quaaludes
F# I wear a satin B baseball C# jacket everywhere I F# go B C#
My F# job is to B help dest C# roy
What's F# left of your i B magi C# nation
By F# feeding you B endless C# doses
Of F# sugar-coated mindless B garbage C#
So F# don't create B Be se C# date
Be a F# vegetable at home And B thwack on that C# dial
If F# we have our way even B you will be C# lieve (Fun fun fun... ends)
F# This is the future of rock and roll
(M.T.V GET OFF THE AIR!)
How F# far will you go B A
How F# low will you stoop B A
To B tranquilize our A minds with your B sugar-coated A swill
You've F# turned rock and roll rebellion B A
Into F# Pat Boone sedation B A
B Making sure A nothing's left B of the imagi D nation

C#m B A G# (2x trumpet or something)
And C# so it B was
Our C# beloved corporate B gods
F# Claimed they cr E eated rock F# video E
C# Allowing it to B sink as low in C# one year B
As F# commercial E TV has in C# 25
C#m "It's the new frontier," B they say
It's A wide open, anything can G# happen
But C#m you've got a lot of nerve
To call your B self a pioneer
When you're too A god-damn conservative
To take G# real chances.
C# Tin-eared B
Graph- C# paper B brained ac F# countants
E Instead of music F# fans E
C# Call all the B shots at giant C# record companies B now
The F# lowest common de E nominator C# rules
C#m Forget honesty
B Forget creativity
The A dumbest buy the mostest
That's the G# name of the game
But C#m sales are slumping
And B no one will say why
A Could it be they put out one too many G# lousy records?!?
C# M.T.V. - B Get off the F# air!
F# NOW!

Some chords may be missing in the fast part and the bass line probably
isn't very accurate. At least it's played higher, I think. Corrections
are naturally welcome.
