I [E] was tuning in the shine [B] of the light and I dialed [A] through and entered my radio [E] advised
Every one [B] of those late night stations [A] playing songs bringing tears to [C#] my eyes
I [A] was seriously thinking [B] about hiding the receiver [A] when the switch broke cause [B] it's old
[A] They're saying things that [B] I can hardly believe, they really think we're getting out of [E] control
Radio, [C#m] sound salvation, [B] radio is cleaning up the nation
[A] They say you [E] better listen [B] through the wide [E] shot reason
[A] But they don't give you [E] any choice [B] cause they think that [C#m] it's treason
[G#] So you [B] had better [C#m] do what you were told, you [B] better [E] listen through the radio

[Am] I wanna bite [E] the hand that feeds [Am] me, I wanna bite [E] that hand so [C#m] badly

[E] Some of my friends [B] sit around every [A] evening and they worry about the times [E] ahead
But everybody else is [B] overwhelmed by indifference and [A] the promise of an [C#] early bed
You either shut [B] up or get cut out, they don't wanna [A] hear about it so they end up just [B] on the reel to reel
[A] And the radio is in the hands [B] of such a lot of fools trying to anesthetize the way that [E] you feel
