Radio
Breaking Free from Deceptive Airwaves
Lyrics
I like turning on the radio
I enjoy listening to the radio
When I'm running a little too low
When my energy is low
Hear the melodies that came before
Appreciating past melodies
Stretching out across the floor
Music spreading around the space
When the signal is coming in
When the signal is strong
I remember how to live again
It revives my zest for life
But all the talk is getting old
Criticizing repetitive talk
It sounds like mind control
Describing talk as if it controls minds
Gimme no more lies, no more hysteria
Rejecting falsehoods and hysteria
No lies, coming through in stereo
Objecting to lies broadcast in stereo
No lies, no more hysteria please.
Requesting an end to hysteria
I want no more lies, no more hysteria
Reiterating the desire for truth
No lies, coming through in stereo
Opposing lies transmitted in stereo
No lies, no more hysteria please
Continuing the plea to end hysteria
When you start to get long in years
Addressing the challenges of aging
Pretty soon you got to change your gears
Adapting to changes as one ages
If you got to break down in tears, go ahead
Encouraging expression of emotions
There is nothing stopping you here
No obstacles preventing emotional release
When I want to get outside the crowd
Seeking solace away from the crowd
Turn on that radio, clear and loud
Finding comfort in loud radio
But I'm only finding talk today
Frustration with talk-dominated content
And I don't care what they say
Indifference to opinions
Treat the world like it's some kind of zoo
Viewing the world as chaotic
Feeling clever in the interview
Feeling smart during interviews
But the guests are just versions of you
Guests being reflections of oneself
Repetition doesn't make it true
Rejecting the validity of repetition
Keep telling lies on the radio
Accusing radio of spreading lies
Try to spread the fear, they got a lot of fear
Highlighting fear-inducing tactics
I really want to listen to what I don't know
Desire to explore the unknown
Got a lot to hear, there's a lot to hear
Emphasizing the richness of auditory experiences
I love any song that stirs the soul
Appreciating soul-stirring songs
My spirit was raised by rock and roll
Credit to rock and roll for uplifting spirits
It's not a game, so stop keeping score
Rejecting the notion of life as a game
I don't want to listen to you talk no more
Refusing to engage in meaningless talk
Gimme no more lies, no more hysteria
Insistence on truth and an end to hysteria
No lies, coming through in stereo
Repetition of opposition to lies in stereo
No lies, no more hysteria please
Reiteration of the plea to end hysteria
I want no more lies, no more hysteria
Reaffirming the desire for truth
No lies, coming through in stereo
Reinforcement against lies in stereo
No lies, no more hysteria please
Final plea to stop hysteria
