I was tunin' by the light of the late night dial doin' anything my radio advised

[BurtWorm]

With everyone of those late night stations playing songs bringing tears to my eyes.
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver when the switch broke 'cause it's old.
They're really doin' things that I can hardly believe,
They really think we're getting out of control.

Radio is the sound salvation.
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
So you had better do what you were told.
You better listen to the radio.

[BurtWorm]

2. Yeah. Big scary anti-corporatist protest song!

Was that really what it was about?

[tigereye]

3. but he did anyway and that was very cool!

Great song btw, like most of his. Great live, too.

4. I want to bite the hand that feeds me. I want to bite that hand so badly.

I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.

5. EAR WORM!

But an excellent one. Thanks! :hi:

6. Some of my friends sit around every evenin' and they worry about the times ahead.

But every one is overwhelmed by indifference and the promise of an early bed.

7. You either shut up or get cut up, they don't want to hear about it

It's only inches on the reel-to-reel
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
Trying to anesthetize the way that you feel

:hi:

Gotta love a musician who can work "anesthetize" into song lyrics! :D
