The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cos 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?
'Cos I'm trying to help you see
Coporate capitalistic pigs, all you ads are fake
Keep lying to the sheep out there
But I won't take the bait
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 I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
Why can't I be on MTV?
'Cos we won't lose integrity
What you like is popular 'cos you have all the dough
Turn the kids to zombies they don't care 'cos they don't know
Feed us lies and greed and garbage on the radio
There's better music out there but you don't want us to know!
So advertise through mainstream movies, show off your logo
Stick it to some dumb pop superstar that everybody knows
Totalitarian 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?
'Cos we're not clones and we can think for ourselves!
