remote control

　　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 the little gnome that's in your dreams

　　So I say this rhyme built by design

　　To take you beyond space and time

　　Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal

　　The man pushing buttons on 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 that you've got left in the end

　　Living 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

　　Things get hectic quick

　　All of the sudden I'm in the thick

　　Too much drama all around

　　Distractions booming in sensuround

　　Like a rainy day's Earth won't sit still

　　Sliding on down a hill

　　Sometimes life seems to stall

　　So never be ungrateful y'all

　　So I got a little something for your pay per view

　　Like Don King I've got the crazy hair do

　　We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol

　　Controlled on Earth by remote control

　　Controlled on Earth by remote control
