Radio Waves
Against All Authority Lyrics

Don't Touch the dial
Do not change the station

There's static on the radio.
The radio is not clear due to interference

We're on a frequency way below.
The band of the radio frequency being used is not mainstream

And one day this signals gonna get through to you.
Eventually, the message being put out will reach the intended audience

We sent it out in 92 yeah it's long overdue.
The message has been disseminated since 1992 but has not yet reached the target audience

Can you feel it.
Asking if you can sense the message being put out

When you turn it up-hey.
When you increase the volume

Transmitting not a thing corrupt.
Sending out a message that is not corrupted or distorted

Crank it up.
Increase the volume

We're giving it all we got.
They are putting their full effort into sending the message

We're blowing speakers and we won't stop.
They are playing the music so loud that they are damaging their speakers and will continue to do so

We won't stop.
They will not cease sending the message

Yeah we're still holding it down-down.
They are still persevering despite obstacles

We hold it.
They are maintaining their course and effort

Down with the kids.
They are in tune with the youth culture

While the airwaves cover it up.
The mainstream radio is trying to suppress the message

But the static keeps us in touch.
The interference allows them to continue broadcasting

And one day this noise is gonna break right through.
The message will inevitably get through to the mainstream

With the rhythm of rebellion that were sending to you.
The message they are sending is one of resistance and opposition to the status quo

And I feel it.
They are confident in their message getting through

And we'll shout it out-hey.
They will continue to broadcast the message loudly

Transmitting no shadows of doubt.
Their message is unequivocal and without ambiguity

It's not a test.
This is not a trial, but a genuine effort to spread their message

We're tuned in to you.
They are listening to their audience and responding to their needs

Blowing speakers with our feedback.
Their message is resonating with their audience so much that it is causing damage to their equipment

Yes it's true.
They sincerely believe in what they are saying

Down as we spin around.
They feel a sense of despair and confusion due to the state of the world

This stupid world.
They are disillusioned with the world

And we surround ourselves.
They are complicit with the problems of society

With things that we despise.
They hate the materialism and consumerism prevalent in society

Empty thoughts for shallow lives.
People are leading frivolous and unfulfilling lives

That live amongst these broken dreams.
People are living in a state of disillusionment and defeatism

With static sounds and silent screams.
The static is a metaphor for the interference of mainstream media and the silent screams refer to the underlying pain and issues hidden beneath the surface

That fall upon the deafest ears.
Their message is being ignored by those that need to hear it the most

And play upon our darkest fears.
Their message plays upon the fears and anxieties of the listeners

Of lives that seem so meaningless.
People feel like their lives lack purpose and direction

Above our means and in excess.
People are living beyond their means and indulging in excess

No one hears the sounds we've made.
Their message is not being heard by those in power

We can't touch those radio waves.
They cannot penetrate the mainstream media and get their message across

Radio waves.
A metaphor for the medium they are using to spread their message

No one hears the sounds we've made.
Their message is still being ignored

We're still chasing radio waves.
They are still persisting and fighting to get their message through
