  • Well, Things get hectic quick
    From the satellite dish to your joy stick
    It's the night of the living cable box
    Wires coming up from around the block
    Remote control to change the station
    But that won't change your situation
    Have you seen what I mean
    I'm the little gnome that's in your dreams
    So I say this rhyme built by design
    To take you beyond space and time
    Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal
    The man pushing buttons on remote control

    Re-mote, control
    Remote control

    Until your back's up against the wall
    You never know yourself that much at all
    So you've got to share your love with a friend
    That's all that you've got left in the end
    Living in this city of pure confusion
    People mislead by their own illusion
    All this action, no satisfaction
    We're all linked together like a chain reaction
    Play or fold, love is bold
    What is the future that will unfold?
    Some like it hot, others like it cold
    But we all want to hold the remote control

    Re-mote, control
    Re-mote, control
    Re-mote, control
    Re-mote, control

    Things get hectic quick
    All of the sudden I'm in the thick
    Too much drama all around
    Distractions booming in sensurround
    Like a rainy day's Earth won't sit still
    Sliding on down a hill
    Sometimes life seems to stall
    But never be ungrateful y'all
    So I got a little something for your pay per view
    Like Don King I've got the crazy hair do
    We've got cameras on Mars on space patrol
    Controlled on Earth by remote control Writer/s: Adam Horovitz, Adam Nathaniel Yauch, Michael Louis Diamond
