Channel Z Songtext
von The B‐52s

I am livin′ on Channel Z!

Getting nothing but static
Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from
Channel Z
Getting nothing but static
Getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from
Channel Z

I don't know, I feel like something′s happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me!
Gotta get away
Away from Z
Living on the edge of Z


Space junk, laser bombs
Ozone holes, better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope

All I know′s we′ve got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through and I need it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away
Away from Z
Living on the edge of Z

Waste dumps, toxic fog
Irradiate, and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys, tellin′ lies
'Bout time, I got wise


Getting nothing but static
Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from
Channel Z
Getting nothing but static
Getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from
Channel Z

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!)

Where's my umbrella?

Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae
FREE!

Hamburger ads!
Pop up in my head
On the edge of Aquarius (Secret wars!)
I′m living, I'm living on the edge (Take my money away!)

I know I feel a change is happening
Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen

I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away
Away from Z
Living on the edge of Z

Channel Z's all static all day forever
Time to open up your windows
Let in better weather
Channel Z′s all static all day forever
Time to take disinformation
And shove it in the shredder!
(Woah!)

Market crash
Bullshit
Space junk
Narrow minds
Aaaaaaa!
Woah!
