[Verse 1]
B7      E                              B
  I was tuning in the shine on the late 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
                                          E
They really think we're getting out of control

[Chorus]
           C#m
Radio is a 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
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that
     C#m
it's treason
           B
So you had better do as you are told
C#m           B
   You better listen to the radio

E Esus4 E B7 E Esus4 E B7

[Bridge]
Am                 E
  I wanna bite the hand that feeds me
Am                  E
  I wanna 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
You either shut up or get cut up,
           B
they don't wanna hear about
          A                       B
It's only inches on the reeltoreel
        A                        B
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
                                       E
Tryin' to anesthetize the way that you feel

[Chorus]
           C#m
Radio is a 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
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that
     C#m
it's treason
           B
So you had better do as you are told
C#m           B
   You better listen to the radio
