Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

Here we stand -
(Remote control buttons in our sweaty little hands)
As one man -

(We're lining up and waiting for someone's command)
We don't move -
(we sent out for food, get the news on video)

I can prove -
(there's no need for movies, we got HBO)
In the
T.V. Age
They're out there somewhere

(You know the force has got a lot of power 
But what makes you think it gives a shit about you... who are you anyway?)
They're taking over

(And I believe - the aliens have to take a physical form on our planet 
So why not one with 13 channels...)
They're out there somewhere
Times must change

(This ain't the stone age, we don't have rocks in our heads)
What's so strange -
(We don't work no more, so why get out of bed)

T.V. rules -
(Pretty soon you won't be able to turn it off at all)
All you fools -
(Then it'll turn you off - your back's against the wall)

In the 
T.V. Age
