Lyrics
|
Give me an C for couch potato.
Give me an R for rump control.
Give me an A for addictive game shows
to stunt the brain and constipate the soul.
Give me a P for pornographic
to titillate the heart with sex and sin.
and what does it spell?
It spells it's time for media deprivation.
'cause we don't need NO MTV
or shows about REALITY
We don't need NO INTERNET to stay connected
We don't need NO SATELLITE
blinking down ACROSS THE NIGHT
to entertain us when we go to bed.
Give me a P for for propaganda
Give me a U for Uncle Spam.
Give me a K for kiddie chat rooms
with twelve years olds who fought in Viet Nam.
Give me an E for "You've got email",
with filthy ads to read in pained chagrin
and what does it spell?
It spells it's time for media deprivation.
'cause we don't need ...
Join the fight!
Climb Aboard!
Pull the plug!
Yank the cord!
Give me an S for screeching monsters
Give me a C for corporate schlock
Give me a U for urban mobsters
griping along to sampled classic rock.
Give me an M for morning D.J.s
with brownie points on every nose and chin
and what does it spell?
It spells it's time for media deprivation.
'cause we don't need ...
Make a stand!
Raise your cup!
Smash the tube!
Shut me up!
