When the Radio Goes Dead

When the radio goes dead

And the airways get filled with fear instead

They're gonna come for my head

And the things that I've said

When the radio goes dead

When the radio goes dead

When the censors have won

Last record has been spun

Last song has been sung

And my time is done

When the censors have won

I'll go when I'm ready

One minute there's static

The needle goes red

Is anyone out there?

Is anyone listening?

Will anyone remember what's been said?

The all-seeing eye

Each hour of each day comes with a price

And I'm still asking why

They've leveraged the sky

The surveillance in the name of security

And then the radio goes dead

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye...
