From "Best Of...Old Stuff" CD — LISTEN HERE

Media Man; I absorb all I can, Media Man; I don't know how it all began,
Media Man; I'm at the mercy of their plan, Media Man, I'm a Media Man

I got my magazines, I got my audio machines
I got my eyes fixed upon the TV screen
They say it's a waste, they tell me I'm a bore
But someone's got to do it, it's a full-time chore
On the radio waves, information I craves
Sometimes I can't believe that I'm a media slave
Hey, I'm a..

Media Man Media Man; I'm a Media Man

Information pours, my brains cell stores
I can't get enough, please give me more I WANT MORE!
Movies 'til dawn, the test pattern comes on
I can't turn it off I just stare at it and yawn
On the radio waves the announcer raves
All the money I saves by buying two today, hey I'm a...


Media Man; I absorb all I can; Media Man; I don't know how it all began;
Media Man I'm at the mercy of their plan, I'm a; Media Man; I'm a Media Man

Video waves; video waves...
I got cable TV; On and Z; first-run movies I got NUDITY... OOoooh

This is not a test, I repeat, THIS IS NOT A TEST...

Please stay tuned for further information...

Don't take it away, give me one more day
I'm a media junkie my brain will simply decay
I'll watch what you want, I'll read what you tell me
I'll listen what you say and I'll even let you sell me
But the airwaves are empty, all the books have been burned
Now my media obsession must be slowly unlearned
Hey I'm a...

Media Man; I absored all I can
Media Man; I'm the media fan
Media Man; My life will be so bland
Media Man; If ya' cancel my plan
Media Man; Well I'm a die hard fan of the American Clan of the post-war baby media plan. (ring around the collar.. ring around the collar...)
