Decide yourself if radio's gonna stay
Reason, it could polish up the gray
Put that, put that, put that in your wall
That this isn't country at all
Raving station
Beside yourself
Keep me out of country in the wood
Deify is into the absurd
Don't let don't let don't let to call you boy
That they're pushing for us to fall
Straight off the boat
Where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio
Beside defying media too fast
Instead of putting at the fall
Push that push that push that at the wall
That this isn't nothing at all
Raving station
Beside yourself
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
Decide yourself
Calling all of the them
Keep me out of country in the word
Reason it could part of the absurd
Straight off the boat
Where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
Reason, it could polish up the gray
Put that, put that, put that in your wall
That this isn't country at all
Raving station
Beside yourself
Keep me out of country in the wood
Deify is into the absurd
Don't let don't let don't let to call you boy
That they're pushing for us to fall
Straight off the boat
Where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio
Beside defying media too fast
Instead of putting at the fall
Push that push that push that at the wall
That this isn't nothing at all
Raving station
Beside yourself
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
Decide yourself
Calling all of the them
Keep me out of country in the word
Reason it could part of the absurd
Straight off the boat
Where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free Europe, radio free Europe
