Текст песни Remote Control - Beastie Boys

Boom!
Yeah, the world mashed up

Well, things get hectic quick
From the satellite dish to your joy stick
It's the night of the living cable box
Wires coming up from around the block

Remote control to change the station
But that won't change your situation
Have you seen what I mean?
I'm a little gnome that's in your dreams

So I'm sayin' this rhyme built by design
To take you beyond space and time
Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal
The man pushin' buttons on remote control

Remote control
Remote control

Until your back's up against the wall
You never know yourself that much at all
So you've got to share your love with a friend
That's all you've got left in the end

I said livin' in this city of pure confusion
People mislead by their own illusion
All this action, no satisfaction
We're all linked together like a chain reaction

Play or fold, love is bold
What is the future that will unfold?
Some like it hot, others like it cold
But we all want to hold the remote control

Remote control
Remote control
Remote control
Remote control

Things get hectic quick
All of the sudden I'm in the thick
Too much drama all around
Distractions boomin' in Sensurround

Like a rainy day's Earth, it won't sit still
Slidin' on down a hill
Sometimes life, it seems to stall
But never be ungrateful, y'all

So I got a little somethin' for your pay per view
Like Don King, I've got a crazy hairdo
We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol
Controlled on Earth by remote control
