Why Can't I Be On MTV?

Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cause they just don't like me

Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cause I'm trying to help you see

Corporate capitalistic pigs, all your ads are fake
You're lying to the sheep out there, but I won't take the bait
You use Pepsi and Nike, oh and VH1
Calvin Klein and Tommy Jeans make it look so fun

By using all of the popular bands
They're selling out for more money
When will all of this end?
Let's exploit sex and more through our videos

Why can't we be on MTV?
Why can't we be on MTV?
Why can't we be on MTV?
'Cause we won't lose integrity

What you like is popular 'cause you have all the dough
You turn the kids to zombies they don't care 'cause they don't know
You feed us lies and greed and garbage on the radio
There's better music out there, but you don't want us to know

Advertise through mainstream movies
Show off your logo by sticking in to some
Dumb pop-superstar that everybody knows
Totalitary America, that's just how it goes

Why can't we be a part of your game?
Why can't we have your fortune and fame?
Why can't we all just be the same?
'Cause we're not clones and we can't think for ourselves

Why can't we be a part of your game?
Why can't we have your fortune and fame?
Why can't we all just be the same?
'Cause we're not clones and we can't think for ourselves
