What's the matter with remote controlling?
(Your TV's stuck on Channel 5!)
Maybe I should get a 9-volt batt'ry!
(Or you're stuck with this teenage jive!
Where have you been hiding out lately, honey?
This show became popular with Rupert Murdoch's money!)
Everybody's talkin' 'bout this new show, funny, but
it's not rock and roll, it's "Glee."

What's the matter with the show I'm watching?
(Can't you tell that it's crap from Fox!)
Maybe I should go and change the channel.
(Go and watch a show that doesn't suck!
Nowadays, you can't be too sentimental.
These songs were rock, now they're just sedimental.)
Not funk, not punk, great songs become junk.
It's not rock and roll, it's "Glee."

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'cause they're never gonna change their scene.
There's a new show in town, but you can't stand the sound
'cause it fills up the magazine
just for your average teen.

How about I pop a DVD
in from days of hippie shirts and pants?
(Well, you could really dig these 2010 fashions
if you just give them half a chance.)
Everyone on show is goofy as a jester.
I might soon start rooting for Sue Sylvester!
She's the bad guy, makes 'em cry, come on, Sue, don't be shy!
It's not rock and roll, it's "Glee!"

Don't cover BJ!

(instrumental break)

Oy...
What's the matter with these kids, they're singing?
(Don't you know that you're out of touch!)
I don't care if they are straight-A students!
(Mike, you're old, and you think too much!
Don't you know about this TV show, Mikey?)
Yeah, I know about it, makes me say, "Aw, crikey!"
It's the next phase, new wave, watch it? I ain't that brave!
It's not rock and roll, it's "Glee!"

(Everybody's talkin' 'bout this new show!)
Funny, no!
It's not rock and roll, it's "Glee!"

Oooo... Whoo!
