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