Radio Song
Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio
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
that radio song
Hey hey hey
I've everything to show
I've 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, and the DJ sucks
It makes me sad
I tried to 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
I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song
Hey hey hey
I've everything to show
I've 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
Check it out
What are you saying
What are you playing
Who are you obeying
day out day in?
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
收音机之歌
【美国】R.E.M.
(1980~ )

嘿!收音机里什么都听不见
嗨!你调那个台
世界正在崩溃
围在我们耳边
我打开了收音机
却什么都听不见
我去了那栋房子
把你叫出来
我敢说你刚刚哭过,哭过
收音机里是同一首歌
它让我悲哀
我本想把它关掉
和你说再见
在安静中离去
那收音机里的歌
嗨,嗨,嗨
我要披露一切
我要隐瞒一切
看着我的眼
听
等我上了节目
呵呵呵
我敢说你刚刚哭过,哭过
那是同一首歌,DJ糟透了
它让我悲哀
我想把它关掉
说拜拜啦亲爱的
那收音机里的歌
嗨,嗨,嗨
世界正在崩溃
围在我们耳边
我打开了收音机
却什么都听不见
我试着跟着唱
但去它的吧,收音机里的歌
嗨,嗨,嗨
我要披露一切
我要隐瞒一切
看着我的眼 听那收音机
我拧大音量
但是什么都听不见
什么都听不见
嗨,嗨,嗨
看看吧
你在说什么
你在玩什么
你在服从谁
一天又一天
这玩艺儿使你发疯
DJ们向大众传播着
性和暴力的课程
现在我们的孩子又成长起来
成长为囚徒
终身成为收音机的听众
