lyrics

Yackity yack the satellite media
Stackity stack the crap they're feeding 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
Bubble and boil with tinsel tedium
Rifle recoils encyclopedium log jam

Rattle the cage and break it open or
Battle the rage and just keep hopin' for a
Satellite age where everyone's soaking up someone.
