1. I'm a radio joe of the biz called show 
   I'm a rockin' popstar with a get up and go 
   Rubbin' elbows with the big wigs at my sold out shows 
   I've been on every cover even rolling stone 
   
R: Put us on MTV 
   All we really need 
   Begging on our knees 
   Please, please, please, please, please 
   
2. Conforming to the norm straight out of the mold 
   Compromising each and every ounce of soul 
   I'm a doin' anything for the records of gold 
   I only want what I can hold 
   
R: Put us on MTV...
   
3. We know that we'll never be better than 
   Mister slick superstar David Letterman 
   I promise we'll be perfect gentlemen 
   Just put us on the show you'll regret us then 
   
R: Put us on MTV...
   
4. Thank you very much be sure to label us 
   We wouldn't want to cause a ruckus or a fuss 
   Just put us together goin' out of the bus 
   AOR, CHR, top forty, or bust 
   
R: Put us on MTV...
   
6. What I am is a picture on the T.V. screen 
   Don't make waves don't make a scene 
   What I say when I play isn't worth a bean 
   I'm a video joe in an industry
