lyrics
Devil in the radio. Devil in the Radio
I've got this station for you. I know you'd love to hear it
Devil in the radio. Devil in the Radio
Oh what a terrible tune. Its lies will lash deep into
A great team of puppeteers
I don't know who carved them, but they surely won't give money back
As quick cash it placates your fear
It turns our mothers to our idols, while we number all our native children
It may sting, but it burns alot.
I feel like some actuary counting prison numbers
Your day bleeds like a purple heart
Straight onto a canvas of clouds painting honor medals
Your sons are leaving your face is a-teaming with pride
And my team is easily dreaming of ways to get high
Oh so high, until we all fall down
Would you listen please
We all fall down, but if you listen to me
You shall be ok.
Last Call for your freedom cheer
My smile reads like ambulance without the aid of rear view mirrors
Reflect please, on the things here said
Cause truth is found between the lines
The speakers do their best to hide.
