Rattle the Cage (Turn on the Tube) Yackety yack the satellite media Stackity stack the crap they're feedin' ya Trackity track the trail they're leading ya down boy Addling waves breaking over you Fiddle and fawn and four leaf clover you Peddle and pawn or just pore over you roundly Turn on the tube, yeah! ¬ turn on eternally! Turn on the tube, yeah! ¬ turn on eternity! Silicon oil the mystic medium Bubbles and boils with tinsel tedium Rifle recoils encyclopedium log jam Rattle the cage and shake it open or Battle the rage and just keep hopin' for a Satellite age where everyone's soaking up someone. Turn on the tube, yeah! ¬ turn on eternally! Turn on the tube, yeah! ¬ turn on eternity!

Christopher Columbus Mr. Christopher Columbus Planted false evidence to stump us Twisted history's big old rumpus Sly old Christopher Columbus Let's land right here! Natives have no fear! We believe in God! Cross of gold, rod by rod! Better pray and how! Talk about a cash cow! Whippin you in shape! We discovered you and you can't escape! Meanwhile old Isabel made merry The help drank all the cooking sherry Mr. Christopher Columbus Realized we'd never seen a compass Pulled out his almanac to stump us Said he'd send an old eclipse to jump us Blackin out the day! Sack of woe & dismay! What a way to go! I'd run away but that boat don't row! Better pray and how! Talk about a cash cow! Whippin you in shape! We discovered you and you can't escape! Mr. Christopher Columbus For information he would pump us When there was no gold he was a grumpus Cut both my hands down to a stumpus Da da da da dah da doo dat!
