I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little had changed I am the tool of the government And industry too For i am destined to rule And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think i'm delicious With the stuff that i say
I am the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I am the slime oozin' out From your tv set
You will obey me while i lead you And eat the garbage that i feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't got for help...no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial
Well, i am the slime from your video Oozin' along on your livin'room floor
I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
