Lyrics and Chords


[ G#(XI) = xxx13-13-11 ; G#sus4(XI) = xxx13-14-11 ]

[Capo 1]

Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio
Uh, yo, turn to that station

Intro riff: / G#(XI) - G#sus4(XI) - G#(XI) - G#sus4(XI) - /

The world is collapsing around our ears
I turned up the radio, but I can't hear it

/ Intro / /

When I got to the house and I called you out
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It's that same sing-song on the radio
It makes me sad
I meant to turn it off, to say good-bye
To leave in quiet
That radio song, hey hey hey

/ E7 - - - / / / / Asus2 A7sus2 Asus2 A7sus2 / / E7 - - - /

   I've everything to show everything to show, I've everything to hide everything to hide
   Look into my eyes, listen

   / G - Gsus4 - G - Gsus4 - / G - Gsus4 - A - D - /

When I got to the show, yo ho ho
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It's that same sing-song, and the DJ sucks
It makes me sad
I tried to turn it off, to say good-
Bye, my love
That radio song, hey hey hey

   The world is collapsing around our ears
   I turned up the radio, but I can't hear it

Yeah!
...
I tried to sing along
But, damn that radio song
Hey hey hey, hey, hey, hey

   I've everything to show everything to show, I've everything to hide everything to hide
   Look into my eyes, listen to the radio
   I turned up the radio, but I can't hear it
   No, I can't hear it

   / G - Gsus4 - G - Gsus4 - / / / G - Gsus4 - A - D - /

Hey hey hey (say what), hey, hey, hey (let me do that with you)
Hey hey hey hey-hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey-hey, (say what, say what, say what)
Hey, hey, hey

Check it out
What are you saying, what are you playing
Who are you obeying, day out day in, huh
Baby baby baby baby, that stuff is driving me crazy
DJs communicate to the masses
Sex and violent classes
Now our children grow up prisoners
All their lives, radio listeners

The Intro assumes you're playing this Capo 1. Adjust down if you're playing in plain E.
