Am Radio Lyrics - Songs From An American Movie-vol. 1: Learning How To Smile - Everclear

{K exchange Los Angeles 

Portions of the day's programming are reproduced by means 

Of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings} 

The V.C.R. and the D.V.D. 

There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970 

We didn't know about a world wide web 

It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid 

You wanna get down in a cool way? 

Picture yourself on a beautiful day 

Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair 

Just a walking in style with a portable C D player 

No, no, you would listen to the music on the AM radio 

Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM radio 

Flashback to '72 another summer in the neighborhood 

Hanging out with nothing to do 

Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto 

Cruisin' with the windows rolled down 

We'd listen to the radio station 

We were too damn poor to buy the 8 track tapes 

There wasn't any good time to want to be inside 

My mom would want to watch that TV all god damn night 

I'd be in bed with the radio on 

I would listen to it all night long 

Just to hear my favorite song 

You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio 

Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM radio 

I can still hear mama say 

"Boy turn that radio down!" 

Oh mom that show again 

I don't wanna watch that show 

Can we watch good times and cheeku on the net 

Or something cool, turn it off 

Things changed back in '75 

We were all growing up on the in and the outside 

We got in trouble with the police man 

We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van 

I remember 1977, I started going to concerts 

And I saw the Led Zeppelin 

I got a guitar on a Christmas day I dreamed that Jimmy Page 

Would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play 

There isn't any other place that I need to go 

There isn't anything that I need to know 

I did not learn from the radio 

Yeah, when things get stupid and I just don't know 

Where to find my happy 

I listen to the music from the AM radio 

You could hear the music on the AM radio 

You could hear the music on the AM radio 

I like pop and I like soul 

I like rock but I never liked disco on the AM radio 

I like pop and I like soul 

I like rock but I never liked disco on the AM radio 

We like pop, we like soul, we like to rock 

But we never liked disco 

We like pop, we like soul, we like to rock 

But we never liked disco 

We like pop, we like soul, we like to rock 

But we never liked disco 

No we never liked disco 

No we never liked disco 

No we never liked disco
