david rovics – the pirate radio song lyrics
this is how it started
it’s not hard to understand
from coast-to-coast they’re lying
at a ceo’s command
from nationalist public radio
to c.n.n. and n.b.c
big brother spewing misinformation
from the dis-information ministry
they say the economy is booming
we hear the homeless beggars cry
they say we help poor countries
we see bombs falling from the sky
reality doesn’t exist
they’re trying to say
but some of us decided
there is another way
seize the airways!
seize the time!
’cause lying to the people
is the real crime
when it’s all owned by corporations
and theirs is the only word
we will seize the airwaves
speak freely, and be heard
someone got a transmitter
started up a station
then the idea spread
right across the nation
like the land and water
the air must be free
so let us shout together
“f-ck the f.c.c.”
(chorus)
and we’ll do it all together
in a gr-ssroots-style
tearing down the fences
through-out this whole square mile
it’s the new town meeting
it’s the way the news should be
the rulers call it chaos
we say it’s democracy
so when you turn on the radio
and you’ve had it with this sh-t
from 88 to 107
makes you want to have a fit
when you listen to the music
and it’s all the same pop songs
start up a pirate station
because that’s where you belong
(chorus)
