[E] [B] [E] [B]
[E] [B] I [E] was tuning in the shine of [B] the light and I dialed [A] through and it entered my radio [E] advice
With every [B] one of those late night stations [A] playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I 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] is a sound salvation, radio [B]
is a clean up the nation
They [A] say you [E] better listen [B] to the [E] wide shot reasons
But [A] they don't [E] give you any choice cause [B] they [C#m] think that it's treason
So [C#] you had better do as you were told, [E] better listen to the radio
[B] [E]
[B]
[Am] I wanna fight [E] the hand that feeds [Am] me, I wanna fight [E] that hand so [C#m] badly
I wanna make them wish they'd [B] never seen me
[E] Some of my friends sit [B] around every evening [A] and they worry about the [E] times ahead
But everybody else [G] is overwhelmed by [A] indifference and the promise of an early [C#] bed
[D] You either shut up or get cut [G#m] out, they don't wanna [A] hear about it, it's only in just [G#m] on the reel to reel
[Am]
And the radio is [B] in the hands of such a lot of fools trying to anesthetize the way that [E] you feel
[F] Radio [C#m] is a sound salvation, [B] radio is a clean up the nation
[A] They say you better listen [E] to the wide shot reasons
[A] But they don't give you [E] any [B] choice cause they [C#m] think that it's treason
[Bm] So you had better [C#m] do as you were told, [B] better listen [E] to the radio
