[Verse 1]
       E                              B
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
      A                        E
Doing anything my radio advised.
                         B
With every one of those late night stations
         A                               C#m
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
       A                        B
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
        A                            B
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
A                                 B
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.
              B                             E
They really think we're getting out of control.

[Chorus]
E             C#m
Radio is the sound salvation.
           B
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
      A              E             B        E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
                A            E                  B               C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
            B                        C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
            B                  E
You better listen to the radio.

[Bridge]
Am                  E
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Am                   E
I want to bite that hand so badly.
C#m                                  B
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.

[Verse 2]
       E                              B
Some of my friends sit around every evening
      A                        E
And they worry about the times ahead.
                         B
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
         A                               C#m
And the promise of an early bed.
       A                        B
You better shut up or get cut up;
       A                        B
They don't wanna hear about it.
       A                        B
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
       A                        B
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
          B                    E
Trying to anaesthetize the way that you feel.

[Chorus]
E             C#m
Radio is the sound salvation.
           B
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
      A              E             B        E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
                A            E                  B               C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
            B                        C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
            B                  E
You better listen to the radio.
