Lyrics

[Intro]
I am livin' on Channel Z
[Chorus]
Gettin' nothing but static (Static), gettin' nothing but static (Static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Gettin' nothing but static (Static), gettin' nothing but static (Static)
Static fillin' my attic from Channel Z
[Verse 1]
I don't know, I feel like something's happenin'
Something good is happenin'
I feel love has gotta come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
[PreChorus]
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin' on the edge of Z
[Chorus]
Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politi-crites pushin' dope
[Verse 2]
All I know, we've got to change what's happenin'
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through, and I need it
Something big and lovely
[PreChorus]
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin' on the edge of Z
[Chorus]
Waste dumps, toxic fog, irradiate
And keep it fresh forever
Good old boys tellin' lies
'Bout time I got wise
[Chorus]
Gettin' nothing but static (Static), gettin' nothing but static (Static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Gettin' nothing but static (Static), gettin' nothing but static (Static)
Static fillin' my attic from Channel Z
[Bridge]
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 tune out
Atomic lasers falling from the sky
[Verse 3]
Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Where's my umbrella?
Gonna put up my antenna, oh, free, yeah
[Verse 4]
Hamburger ads pop up in my head
On the edge of Aquarius
Secret wars, whoo
I'm livin' on the edge
Take my money away, ah, yo
[Verse 5]
I know, I feel a change is happenin'
Something good will happen
I feel love and it's comin' on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen
[PreChorus]
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Livin' on the edge of Z
[Outro]
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Channel Z, all static, all day, forever
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ah
Time to open up your window, let in better weather
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Channel Z, all static, all day, forever
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ah
Time to take disinformation and shove it in the shredder
[Outro]
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ah
Market crash, bullshit, space junk, narrow minds, ah
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Whoa, ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ah
