lyrics

**********************
It's all remote control now,
Used to have to get up and walk across the room,
Used to have to pull a switch, turn a knob to watch the news...

Car bomb in the embassy...
Change the channel and you won't have to see.
Choose between the Flintstones and reality,
It's time....

It's all remote control now,
Press a button and the missiles fly
And there's no need for close-ups, no need to see them die...
It's a long-distance heavy breather call
But frightened eyes at the end of a bayonet
Are about as real as it could ever get.

But I don't want to see, don't remind me.
Is this our legacy?
But I don't want to know, don't want to get involved...
Come talk to me once you've got your problems solved.

Well, I've told you before and before that some more
If we're all here, who's minding the store?
Will there ever be a fourth world war?
Keep the score by remote control.

It's all remote control now,
Used to have to get up and walk across the room,
Used to have to pull a switch, twist a knob to watch the news...

(1989 Nimyonta Music)

If I was in my car anytime from September 2018 for the next eight or nine months, this CD was playing. It never left the CD player. It's that good. tim nelson

Ocean Songs
by Dirty Three

If you've never heard The Dirty Three, you need to. If you've heard them once or just a few times and thought "Yeah, they're alright" then you need to hear more. An acquired taste, but habit-forming. tim nelson
