How far will you go
   F#           B A
How low will you stoop
  B          A          B        A
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
   F#           B A

Making sure nothing's left of the imagination

See the latest rejects   from the muppet show
B          A
Wag their tits and their dicks
     B        A
As they lip-synch on screen

     F#
There's something I don't like
 B   A F#        B A

   C#   B
And so it was
   C#           B
Our beloved corporate gods
F#         E       F#   E
Claimed they created rock video
C#         B         C#     B
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
  F#      E      C#
As commercial TV has in 25

C#m         B
"It's the new frontier," they say
   A         G#
It's wide open, anything can happen
   C#m
But you've got a lot of nerve
        B
To call yourself a pioneer
           A
When you're too god-damn conservative
     G#
To take real chances.

C#     B
Tin-eared
    C#   B      F#
Graph-paper brained accountants
E           F#  E
Instead of music fans
C#       B         C#          B
Call all the shots at giant record companies now
   F#         E      C#
The lowest common denominator rules

C#m
Forget honesty
B
Forget creativity
   A
The dumbest buy the mostest
       G#
That's the name of the game

   C#m
But sales are slumping
   B
And no one will say why
A             G#
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
