Beck MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack Lyrics

MTV makes me wanna smoke crack,
Fall out of the window,
and I'm never comin' back.
MTV makes me wanna get high,
Can't get a ride no matter how I try

And everything's perfect
And everything's bright
And everyone's perky
And everyone's uptight

I love those videos
I watch 'em all day.

{Background}

[Manager: What's the problem?]
[Beck: Uhh, Alright...just stop the tape]

Hey, alright.
MTV... whoa,
Makes me wanna smoke Crack.
Fly out the window,
And I'm never comin' back.
MTV makes me want to get high...as the moon,
Like a rubber balloon.
Oh, get that squeegee.
Everything's wonderful,
Everything's grand,
Everything's swingin',
All across the land.
You know why
Bust out the biscuits,
Strike up the band,
Play those videos everyone woman and man
Cuz...
MTV...whoa, makes me wanna smoke crack.
Hey
Fly out the window,
and I'm never coming back.
Oooh
MTV...makes me want to get high as a kite,
Getting all uptight.
Take it

Ahh yea. Fake it till ya make it.
Right about now
Stepping into a cold a__ fashion
Ahh yeah, we whack that thing

I work down at the video store,
Making some change
With the sparkle in my step,
And a smile on my face.
Condominiums...rising above,
And those videos are better than love.
Yea, MTV...one...MTV...check...MTV makes me wanna smoke crack.
