M.T.V. - GET OFF THE AIR by Dead Kennedys
------------------------
(Biafra)
Intro: F# B C# (2x bass only)
F# B C#
Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
F#
Flame up the herb
B C#
Woof down the beer (2x and continues on background)
(click!)
F# B C#
Hi! I'm your video DJ
F# B C#
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
F# B C# F# B C#
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
F# B C#
My job is to help destroy
F# B C#
What's left of your imagination
F# B C#
By feeding you endless doses
F# B C#
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
F# B C#
So don't create Be sedate
F# B C#
Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial
F# B C#
If we have our way even you will believe (Fun fun fun... ends)
F#
This is the future of rock and roll
(M.T.V GET OFF THE AIR!)
F# B A
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
F# B A
You've turned rock and roll rebellion
F# B A
Into Pat Boone sedation
B A B D
Making sure nothing's left of the imagination
C# B
M.T.V. Get off the
C# B
M.T.V. Get off the
C# B F#
M.T.V. Get off the air (2x)
E F#
Get off the air
F# B A F# B A
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
About a band who always smiles
B A
Another tax write-off
B D
For some schmuck who doesn't care
M.T.V. Get off the air...
Get off the air
Get off the air
F# F E D# C#
Get off the air
(bass break - following line twice: 1st time with bass only, 2nd time with
guitar playing chords above)

C#m B A G# (2x trumpet or something)
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?!?
C# B F#
M.T.V. - Get off the air!
F#
NOW!

Some chords may be missing in the fast part and the bass line probably
isn't very accurate. At least it's played higher, I think. Corrections
are naturally welcome.
