Låttexter: Joe Jackson. T.V. Age.

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 TV 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)

TV 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 TV age
