Lyrics

[00:10] Things get hectic quick
[00:13] From the satellite dish to your joy stick
[00:15] It's the night of the living cable box
[00:18] Wiresing up from around the block
[00:20] Remote control to change the station
[00:23] But that won't change your situation
[00:25] Have you seen what I mean
[00:28] I'm the little gnome that's in your dreams
[00:30] So I say this rhyme built by design
[00:33] To take you beyond space and time
[00:35] Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal
[00:38] The man pushing buttons on remote control
[00:53] Until your back's up against the wall
[00:56] You never know yourself that much at all
[00:58] So you've got to share your love with a friend
[01:00] That's all that you've got left in the end
[01:03] Living in this city of pure confusion
[01:06] People mislead by their own illusion
[01:09] All this action, no satisfaction
[01:11] We're all linked together like a chain reaction
[01:14] Play or fold, love is bold
[01:16] What is the future that will unfold?
[01:19] Some like it hot, others like it cold
[01:21] But we all want to hold the remote control
[02:13] Things get hectic quick
[02:15] All of the sudden I'm in the thick
[02:18] Too much drama all around
[02:20] Distractions booming in sensuround
[02:23] Like a rainy day's Earth won't sit still
[02:25] Sliding on down a hill
[02:28] Sometimes life seems to stall
[02:30] So never be ungrateful y'all
[02:33] So I got a little something for your pay per view
[02:35] Like Don King I've got the crazy hair do
[02:38] We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol
[02:40] Controlled on Earth by remote control
