MTV - Get Off the Air Lyrics

MTV Get Off The Air - Dead Kennedys
the horns part is played on guitar. I'm tabbing the studio version, but I'm including
horns part on guitar, because that seems a lot more useful. Enjoy.
Start off with palm muted power chords, after the bass line is played twice
Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb. Woof down the beer
Hi. I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
At this point the chords become full chords instead of power chords.
So don't create. Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home and thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
F# (Let ring)
This is the future of rock and roll
MTV Get Off The Air!
Do this four times before the words start again:
How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill
You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air (X2)
Get off the air(X2)
See the latest rejects from the
Muppet show
Wag their tits and their dicks as they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off for some schmuck who doesn't care
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air (X2)
Get off the air(X2), then
Get off the air
Bass line twice, then:
And then, of course:
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative to take real chances.
Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now
The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game
But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
M.T.V. - Get off the air!
NOW!
There you have it. This is my first tab, so if it somehow came out completely wrong, i
The major part that I wanted to contribute was that horns part. Noone ever tabbed it
it had horns, but honestly, how many self respecting punk bands have horn players? And
for the guitar version of that part, I'm positive it's right. I played it against the studio
live versions. Enjoy, and give me a high rating.
