Wake up mama!
Shake up dad!
Put that remote down!
Step on the porch.
Do you get mad...
when you take a look around?
Do you see what you want to see?
Would you like to see some more?
No, you'd like to keep it on your T.V.
and away from your front door.
Well thats too bad.
It's give and take.
You can't have and eat your cake.
That's Entertainment!
Your mind is free to choose.
You can't blame it
on Pennsylvania Avenue.
What you see is what you get.
Go get a switch and smash the set.
It aint the Outer Limits yet.
You've still got control.

Archie Bunker caused a shock
when he flushed the stool.
Now, with the spinning of the clock
it's harder to be "cool".
Nothing shocks and nothing stuns.
It all seems like routine.
There isn't much that can be done
that the kids aint seen.
What you get is what you see.
Mind is not an idle tool.
Now Die Hard 3 is reality
and Scarface goes to school.
Entertain your brain, then pay the debt.
What you see is what you get.
Thats Entertainment!
Your mind is free to choose.
But you can't blame it
on Pennsylvania Avenue.
What you see is what you get.
Go get a switch and smash the set.
It aint the Outer Limits yet.
You've still got control.
