[E] [B]
[E] [B]
[E] was tuning in the [B] shine of the light and I dialed through [A] and entered my radio [E] fast
With every one [B] of those late night [A] stations playing songs bringing tears to my [C#] eyes
I was [A] seriously thinking [B] about hiding the receiver [A] when the switch broke [B] cause it's old
[A] They're saying things [B] that I can hardly believe, they really think we're getting out [E] of control
Radio, [C#m] it's time to salvation, [B] radio is the only destination
[A] So yeah you [E] better listen [B] to the [E] Vysot reason
[A] They don't give you [E] any [B] choice cause they think [C#m] that it's treason
So [B] you had better [C#] do what you were told, you [B] better [E] listen to the radio
[B]
[E] [B] [E] [B]
[Am] I wanna bite the [E] hand that feeds [Am] me, I wanna bite [E] that hand so [C#m] badly
I wanna make them wish they'd [B] never seen me
[E] Some of my [Bm] friends sit around every [A] evening and they worry about the [E] times ahead
But everybody else [B] is overwhelmed by [A] indifference and the promise of an early [C#] bed
[A] You either shut up or get cut out, they don't wanna hear about it, it's only inches on the reel to reel
[B] And the radio is in the hands of [C#m] such a lot of [B] fools trying to do anything about the way that [E] you feel
Radio, [C#m] it's time to [B] salvation, radio is the only destination
[A] So yeah you [E] better listen to [B] the [E] Vysot reason
[A] They don't [E] give you any [B] choice cause they [C#] think that it's treason
So [B] you had better do what [C#m] you were told, you [B] better [G] listen [E] to the radio
What [B]
if [E] all they [B] love, is not a [E] lesson, radio

What if [E] all they [B] love, is just a lie, [E]
