Radio Gaga
Electric Six Lyrics

I'd sit alone and watch your light
I spent hours in silence listening to you

My only friend through teenage life
You were my closest companion during adolescence

And ev'rything I need to know
I learned everything I knew from you

I heard it on my radio
All the information and music came from you

You gave them all those old time stars
You introduced the legends of the past to the newer generation

Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You gave us an escape when the world was in chaos

You made us laugh - you made us cry
Your content was emotional, evoking laughter and tears

You made us feel like we could fly
You lifted our spirits and gave us joy

So don't become some background noise
Don't let yourself fade away into the background

A backdrop for the girls and boys
Don't just be noise for the youth to ignore

Who just don't know and just don't care
Who are unaware and uninterested in your importance

And just complain when you're not there
And only realize your value when you're gone

You have the time you have the power
You have the ability to shape culture and influence people

You've yet to have your finest hour
Your best moments are yet to come

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio dominates our lives

Radio goo goo
Radio is like an addiction, always there and always satisfying

Radio blah blah
Radio can sometimes be monotonous and uninteresting

Radio what's new?
Radio is always looking for what's next and new

Radio someone still loves you
Radio is still appreciated and loved by many

We watch the stars - we watch the sun
We are obsessed with visuals, but we should not forget about the power of radio

On videos for thousand dollars
We spend a lot of money on visual media

We hardly need to use our ears
We rely too much on visuals and forget to listen

How music changes through the years
Radio has been witness to the ever-changing world of music

Let's hope we'll never leave old friend
Let's hope we never forget about the value of radio

Like all good things on you we depend
Radio is one of the good things we rely on

So stick around 'cause we might miss you
Don't leave us, we might regret not appreciating you enough

When we grow tired of all this visual
When we get tired of all visual media, we will remember radio

You had your time you had the power
You once had a significant influence and authority

You've yet to have your finest hour
Your greatest achievements are still to come
