Lyrics

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
