    Story Behind the Song
    The songs about craving for remote control. The recording was a simple bootleg (using a crappy mike). The gig was horrible but at least we had fun. Won't do you much good though. We'll try to get a better version sometime soon.

    Lyrics
    It's fridaynight and as usual I'm bored
    because there's nothing in the world my salary can afford
    (he's unemployed)
    maybe I'll just watch something on my tv today
    because television makes time pass by and my boredom go away
    but whet a drag, it's one-eyed-jack
    he's got the remote in his hand and the guide behind his back
    I wish he'd die from some disease
    and then leave the remote to me
    because jack here doesn't seem te know that cable don't come free

    Gimme the remote, gimme the remote
    cuz it's mine and it belongs to me.
    Gimme the remote, gimme the remote
    cuz it's shark week on Discovery
    it's mine it's mine oh yes it's mine
    and if you want it you'll just have to stand in line
    and wait your turn.

    Drag the dude outside by his long hair
    smash his face with a marble brick that'll show him how to share
    (that wasn't fair)
    maybe now I can watch something on my tv today
    because television makes time pass by and my boredom go away
    but what a shame, it's johnny lame
    clutching the remote between his fingers and I think he's watching fame
    I wish he'd fall into a well and then rot away in hell
    because johnny needs to get a job and buy a tv set himself.

    Gimme the remote, gimme the remote
    cuz it's punk night on mtv2
    Gimme the remote, gimme the remote
    if you don't give it to me I'll set fire to you
    it's mine it's mine oh yes it's mine
    and if you want it you'll just have to stand in line
    and wait your turn.

    All good things come to an end and so did johnny lame
    mommy said not to play with knives but I did it all the same.
    (you sick fucking dude!)
    Maybe now I can watch something till the dawn of a new day
    because television makes memories and my guilt go away...

    it's mine it's mine oh yes it's mine
    and if you want it you'll just have to stand in line
    and wait your turn.
    Fuck you!
