(Speaking)
I dunno,
Drugs are out,
Sex is out,
Politics are out,
Everything is on hold,
I mean we definitely need something new,
I just keep waiting for some new voice
To come out of someWHERE,
And just say "Hey,
Maybe this is the answer to everything."
(Verse 1)
If I could just cross over,
And cut right through the static,
There's a peace of mind,
That I can find,
It just comes automatic.
But lately I've been lost,
Stuck somewhere in between,
And everytime I stop to listen,
They're feeding hooks to me.
But I won't take them,
They won't digest,
It keeps repeating,
And they won't give my ears a rest.
(Speaking)
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio, the radio, the radio, the radio...
Come on take your dial now and turn it,
Play me something different,
Take your radio and burn it.
(Speaking)
Welcome to radio free america,
America's reality about, what,
A million voices,
Crying out in the Wilderness,
Jesus let's get serious.
(Verse 2)
If I could just cross over,
Or stay somewhere between,
Then I could focus on the static,
And find out what it means.
Cos I know it's not just fuzz,
Inside "I Can" it screams,
Lost voices looking for their numbers,
Pushing at the seams,
But they won't make it (not this time),
They'll never rest (they'll wait in line),
They'll force themselves on you and tell you they're the best.
(Speaking)
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio it does not work,
The radio is broken,
The radio, the radio, the radio, the radio...
(Chorus)
Come on take your dial now and turn it,
Play me something different,
Take your radio and burn it.
I turn you on,
You turn me off,
I don't know how.
Turn your dial now,
Turn your dial now.
Come on take your dial now and turn it,
Play me something different,
Take your radio and burn it.
I turn you on,
You turn me off,
I don't know how.
Turn your dial now,
Turn your dial now.
Play me,
Play me louder.
(Turn me on.)
Play me,
Play me louder.
(Turn me on.)
(Chorus)
