Lyrics | [Intro] Boom, yeah, the world mash up [Verse 1] Well, 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 [Hook] Re-mote, control Remote control [Verse 2] 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 misled 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 [Hook] Re-mote, control Re-mote, control Re-mote, control Re-mote, control [Verse 3] Things get hectic quick All of a sudden I'm in the thick Too much drama all around Distractions booming in sensurround Like a rainy day's Earth it won't sit still Sliding on down a hill Sometimes life, it 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 controlYou might also like |
