But that won't change your situation
We're all linked together like a chain reaction
To take you beyond space and time
Controlled on Earth by remote control
Distractions booming in sensuround
Wires coming up from around the block
Remote I want control
It's the night of the living cable box
All this action, no satisfaction
So I got a little something for your pay per view
People mislead by their own illusion
Have you seen what I mean?
Remote I want control
You never know yourself that much at all
Some like it hot, others like it cold
All of the sudden I'm in the thick
But we all want to hold the remote control
Remote control to change the station
Said, who is the man making diamonds out of coal?
I said, living in this city of pure confusion
Play or fold, love is bold
So never be ungrateful y'all
That's all that you've got left in the end
Remote I want control
I'm the little gnome that's in your dreams
The man pushing buttons on remote control
Remote I want control
Like Don King I've got the crazy hair do
Sliding on down a hill
We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol
So you've got to share your love with a friend
Sometimes life it seems to stall
Too much drama all around
Like a rainy day's Earth won't sit still
Remote I want control
So I say this rhyme built by design
Until your back's up against the wall
What is the future that will unfold?
Things get hectic quick
Remote I want control
