[Verse 1]
(We will continue...er...to...er...watch
This situation very closely
Here in the shadows where we stand
Watching lady, watching man
(And it may take nature three years the experts
Say to make up for the damage done
Greedy for pictures as they roll
We see the planet lose control
(The average credit card holder has
About \$750 of revolving debt

[Chorus]
Hothead! evolution nonstop evolution
Hothead
Hothead! evolution nonstop evolution
Hothead! ....... Hothead
Time, time will change the picture
(Ah it's a good sign
About time, time will change the picture

[Verse 2]
Power to change the point of view
But what is fake and what is true
(There are charges today that a consumer product
Is torching homes and killing Americans
Blow by blow you're telling me
You'll change the course of history
(Our television tends to come out of Hollywood
Action cars, crashes, chases

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I turn you on you turn me off
Right now I'm suffering from this culture shock
Spread confusion wherever you can
With shaking heads and shaking hands
Cue propoganda to manipulate
Where there's megabucks you protect the state
Let the body break and the body tumble
So you build it up, then you watch it crumble

[Chorus]

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
