Live Earth is on all over the world, and MTV is playing reruns of "America's Next Top Model."
Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Woof down the beer

Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll
How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill
You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air
See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their dicks
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care
M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.
Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now
The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game
But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW
The Kennedy's were never more relevant than this moment.

Then I started listening to M2, which then got changed to MTV2. THE MAN is taking over! Lol.
No it's shit. I was watching it the other day and the only music videos I saw were during the credits of the shows. MTV should definately get the hell off my TV. It just pisses me off to think at one time when I was a kid this channel use to entertain me for countless hours, and now... it can't hold my attention for 5 measly minutes. MTV2 too, it's all rotten.
indeed
have you heard any of his spoken word stuff or the show w/ krist novaselic and kim thayil?
he re-released 'die for oil, suckers' after the invasion in iraq and everything he said on that is still relavent
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
wasnt that lewis black that guy is funny.
yeah and kennedys were right about mtv. sadly when that song came out mtv was awesome compared today. even in the early 90s mtv was still ok. you could see nin, pj, aic, even the pixies and crap if you got lucky late at night. but jello was still right in the 80s mtv ruined pop music. bands like the police or zeppelin would never make it today cause mtv ruined it.
before mtv
music=music
after mtv
looks>music
