I am gross and perverted 
I'm obsessed 'n deranged 
I have existed for years 
But very little had changed 

I am the tool of the Government 
And industry too 
For I am destined to rule 
And regulate you 

I may be vile and pernicious 
But you can't look away 
I make you think I'm delicious 
With the stuff that I say 

I am the best you can get 
Have you guessed me yet? 
I am the slime oozin' out 
From your TV set 

You will obey me while I lead you 
And eat the garbage that I feed you 
Until the day that we don't need you 
Don't go for help...no one will heed you 

Your mind is totally controlled 
It has been stuffed into my mold 
And you will do as you are told 
Until the rights to you are sold 

That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial 
Well, I am the slime from your video 
Oozin' along on your livingroom floor 
I am the slime from your video 

Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
