Punk Rock Classic lyrics

I'm a radio Joe of the biz called show

I'm a rocking pop-star with a get up and go

Rubbing elbows with the big wigs at my sold out shows

I've been on every cover, even Rolling Stone

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

Conforming to the norm straight out of the mold

Compromising each and every ounce of soul

I'm doing anything for the records of gold

I only want what I can hold

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

We know that we'll never be better than

Mister slick superstar David Letterman

I promise we'll be perfect gentlemen

Just put us on the show you'll regret us then

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

Thank you very much, be sure to label us

We wouldn't want to cause a ruckus or a fuss

AOR, CHR, Top Forty or Bust

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please

What I am is a picture on the TV screen

Don't make waves, don't make a scene

What I say when I play isn't worth a bean

I'm a video Joe in an industry

Put us on MTV

All we really need

Begging on our knees

Please, please, please, please, please
