Radio

Jim Savarino © 1994

You can't sell truth on the radio
But not 'cause folks won't buy it
Those wonderful people holdin' the strings
Just never had time to try it

Lookout, they'll call you a dreamer
A rebel who hasen't a clue
Someone who can't see those two timing schemers
A soul without knowlege of what it can't do.

Chorus

And before you know it
The winds of change
Catch you and carry you high

And what you can't say 
On the radio
You sure as hell can to the sky
So you may as well sing to the sky

No you can't sell truth on the radio
Top dollar goes to the lie
If it's pretty and shiny, empty as sin
It's the first thing they want us to buy

Lookout, it'll make you a screamer 
Wait for the turn of the screw
Someone who can't see those two timing schemers
A soul without knowlege of what it can do

Chorus
