You listen to the radio. It helps you get to sleep at night You listen to the radio. It helps you get to sleep at night And all the things you hear seem all right, seem all right And all the things they say seem all right, seem all right One day I started to listen to what the songs were saying All of my favorite songs had somehow lost their meaning Why don't they play a song about a kid whose life's in tatters? Why won't the radio play any songs that really matter? And all the things you hear can't help me, can't help me And all the things they say can't help me, can't help me You listen to the radio - Can't shut it off! But something doesn't seem quite right You listen to the radio - Can't shut it off! But something doesn't seem quite right And all the things you hear can't help me, can't help me And all the things they say can't help me, can't help me You listen to the radio, but you can't get to sleep at night You listen to the radio, but you can't get to sleep at night
