Remote Control Lyrics

The end doesn't justify the means

When it means living on your knees

And the television tells you what you want to know

All the news, talk, and reality shows

But you don't see the pictures in the background

Mama didn't tell you money makes the world go round

You've been brainwashed in your school days

You've been taught to make no waves

And I know all I need ta know

Me and my remote control

Everybody's talking 'bout eternal reward

Pass the plate, give a little more

Spending all our dollars fighting foreign wars

But you won't feed the hungry standing at your door

You don't have a chance standing in the courtroom

The future is decided in a corporate boardroom

We're all just a cog in a big machine

An ant is someone else's god damned schemes

126 channels on my cable TV

And I know all I need ta know

And I know all I need ta know

Me and my remote control

126 channels on my cable TV

And I know all I need ta know

And I all I need ta know

Me and my remote control
