Radio Song (Breakdown) Songtext
von R.E.M.

Hey, I can′t find nothing on the radio
Ah, yo, turn to that station

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

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 goodbye
To leave in quiet (see ya!)
That radio song
Hey, hey, hey (ha-ha, hup, hup)

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

When I got to the show, yo-ho-ho
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It′s that same sing-song, the DJ sucks
It makes me sad


I tried to turn it off (turn it off!)
To say goodbye, 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

Yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Hup! Hup!

I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song (man)
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


Hey, hey, hey, hey (say what?)
Hey, hey, hey (let me do that with you)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey (yeah, huh)
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 life, radio listeners!
