Текст песни T.V. Age - Joe Jackson

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
T.V. 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)

T.V. 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 -
T.V. age
