Mr. MTV Lyrics

Free drugs, cheap sex
Fake tans, big breasts
High times, pimped rides
Lost days to blackout nights

I need this, I need that
I'm not complete with what I have
If I do this, If I buy that
I'll get mine, I'll get mine

I want, I want, I want

Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

In my iLife, in my iWorld
On my iPhone, with my iGirl
Just one bite to understand
Even Eve couldn't live without the iPlan

I want, I want, I want life
I want, I want, I want

Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I need it

I! Do this, I! Buy that
I! Get my drugs and sex
I! Do this, I! Buy that
I! Get my drugs and sex
More drugs, want sex, need sex

MTV, MTnation
MTus of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

Empty me, empty nation
Emptied us of inspiration
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

Corporate father!
Bastard sons and broken daughters
All bow down to our corporate father

I! Do this, I! Buy that
I! Get my drugs and sex

What is the Meaning of Mr. MTV?

In a biting critique of modern consumer culture, Nothing More dissects the emptiness fostered by materialism and corporate influence. The lyrics highlight societal obsessions with superficial pleasures like drugs, sex, and appearances, suggesting these distractions lead to a loss of genuine inspiration and fulfillment. References to "iLife" and "iWorld" underscore our dependency on technology and consumer goods, drawing parallels to Eve's temptation in Eden 🍎. The repeated mention of "corporate father" serves as a metaphor for how corporations dictate desires and values, reducing individuals to "bastard sons and broken daughters." Through this lens, the song portrays a society that sacrifices authenticity for hollow gratification. #ConsumerCulture #Materialism #CorporateControl #ModernSociety
