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
