b-52's: channel z

featured on time capsule: songs for a future generation

i am livin' on Channel Z
getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
static in my attic from Channel Z
getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
static filling my attic from Channel Z

i don't know, I feel like something's happening
something good is happening
i feel love has got to come on, and I want it
something big and lovely

i want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from z
living on the edge of Z
space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes
better put up my umbrella
giant stacks blowing smoke
politicrits pushing dope

all I know, we've got to change what's happening
something good could happen
i feel light has got to come through, and I need it
aomething big and lovely

i want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from z
living on the edge of Z
waste dumps, toxic fog, irradiate
and keep it fresh forever
good old boys, tellin' lies
about time I got wise
getting nothing but static
static in my attic from Channel Z

gotta tune in
pico waves
gotta tune out
pcb's
gotta tune in
market crash
gotta tune out
polar shift
gotta tune in
narrow minds
gotta tune out
space junk

gotta tune in
pico waves
gotta tune out
pcb's
gotta tune in
market crash
gotta tune out
polar shift
gotta tune in
narrow minds
gotta tune out
space junk
gotta tune in
bombs
gotta turn out
atomic lasers falling from the sky

where's my umbrella
gonna shoot that static down the drain
gonna put that static out of my brain
gonna put up my antennae
free

hamburger ads
pop up in my head
on the edge of Aquarius
i'm living on the edge
secret wars
take my money away

i know I feel a change is happening
something good will happen
i feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
we can make it happen

i want the world to change for me
gotta get away, away from z
living on the edge of Z

channel Z's all static all day forever
time to open your windows
let in better weather
