Radio Song

Performed and composed by R.E.M. Lyrics transcribed by Linda Hennrick.


Hey, can't find nothin' on the radio.
Yo, turn to that station.

*   The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it

When I got to the house
And I called you out
I could tell that you
Had been cryin', cryin'
It's that same, same song
On the radio
It makes me sad

I meat to turn it off
To say goodbye
To leave it quiet
(sing your) Radio song, hey hey hey

Everything to show
And everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen

When I got to the show
Yo ho ho
I could tell that you
Had been cryin', cryin'
It's that same, same song
The D.J. sucks
It makes me sad

I tried to turn it off
(Turn it off!)
To say goodbye, my love
That radio song, hey hey hey

[repeat *]

Yeah
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby

I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
And everything to show
And everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
Now I can't hear it

Hey hey hey hey
Say what?
Hey hey hey
Let me do that with you
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
You're the boss
Hey hey hey hey hey
Say what, say what, say what
Hey hey hey
Check it out

What are you sayin'
What are you playin'
Who are you obeyin'
Day out and day in
Huh, baby, baby, baby, baby
That staff is drivin' me crazy
Teachers communicate to the masses
Sex in violence classes
Now our children grow up prisoners
All their life radio listeners
