Radio, Radio Lyrics - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial 

Doing anything my radio advised 

With every one of those late night stations 

Playing songs, bringing tears to me eyes 

I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver 

When the switch broke 'cause it's old 

They're saying things that I can hardly believe 

They really think we're getting out of control 

Radio is a 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 as you are told 

You better listen to the radio

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I wanna bite the hand that feeds me 

I wanna bite that hand so badly 

I wanna make them wish they'd never seen me 

Some of my friends sit around every evening 

And they worry about the times ahead 

But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference 

And the promise of an early bed 

You either shut up or get cut out 

They don't wanna 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 

Tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel 

Radio is a 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 as you are told 

You better listen to the radio 

Wonderful radio 

Marvelous radio 

Wonderful radio
