Beatsteaks    original from:Elvis Costello


Intro:  4x

F#  C#m B  B   C#m   

       F#                              C#
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
      B                        F#
Doing anything my radio advised.
                         C#
With every one of those late night stations
         H                               D#     *  (Guitar comes in)
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
       B                        C#
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
        Eb                         C#
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
 B                               C#
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.
              C#                             F#
They really think we're getting out of control.

F#             Eb
Radio is the sound salvation.
           C#
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
      B              F#             C#        Ebm
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
                B            F#                  C#               Ebm
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
            C#                        Ebm
So you had better do as you are told.
            C#                  F#
You better listen to the radio.

   Intro:  2x 

Bm                  F#
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Bm                  F#
I want to bite that hand so badly.
Ebm                                  C#m7
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.

  F#                    C#
Some of my friends sit around every evening
         B                      F#
And they worry about the times ahead.
                       C#
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
         B                  Eb
And the promise of an early bed.
  B               
You better shut up or get cut up;
  C#
They don't wanna hear about it.
 Eb                       C#
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
 B                                C#
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
                                         F#
Trying to anaesthetise the way that you feel.

(chorus)
