i'm a radio joe of the biz called show
i'm a rockin popstar with a get up and go
rubbin' 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 a doin' 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
