Funny story about this song. It was written as a reaction to MTVs indiependent show with VJ King as he had Coca Cola and other commercials while he pretended not to be bought along with its popularity making clubs empty. The song was "black-listed" at MTV for, like, forever :) The video coming along with the song is available on YouTube ;) Rather silly topic in perspective...

lyrics

MTV

I hear my favourite DJ on the air
And he’s telling me that I shouldn’t care
About my headaches or my pose
Just go out there and make some noise

It’s Friday I shift into high gear
Gonna meet the boys drink loads of beer
Put my best suit on and my blue suede shoes
Add my after shave yeah I’m feeling loose

I stroll downtown kicking cans
Gonna have a night number all the dames
Follow the neon to metro
To the number one place I use to go

But there’s no one out there anywhere
They’re all at home where they all stare
They’re watching MVT all night
Have to drink alone to the morning light

I see some style-fanny on the screen
With a magic white full cancer grin
Show Coke videos over again
As he say sponsorship is a frame

And there’s no one out there anywhere
They’re all at home where they all stare
They’re watching MVT all night
Have to drink alone to the morning light

It’s alright, it’s alright, It’s alright
‘Cause I don’t wanna hang with geeks tonight
It’s alright, it’s alright, It’s alright

I hear my favourite DJ on the air
And he’s telling me that I shouldn’t care
About my headaches or my pose
Just go out there and make some noise

I stroll downtown kicking cans
Gonna have a night number all the dames
Follow the neon to metro
To the number one place I use to go

But there’s no one out there anywhere
They’re all at home where they all stare
They’re watching MVT all night
Have to drink alone to the morning light
