Pirate Radio Song
This is how it startedIt's not hard to understandFrom coast to coast they're lyingAt a CEO's commandFrom Nationalist Public RadioCNN and ABCBig Brother's spewing propagandaFrom the Disinformation MinistryThey say the economy is bloomingWe hear the homeless beggar's criesThey say we help poor countriesWe see bombs falling from the skiesReality doesn't existThey're trying to sayBut some of us decidedThere is another waySeize the airwavesSeize the timeLying to the peopleIs the real crimeWhen it's all owned by corporationsAnd theirs is the only wordWe will seize the airwavesSpeak freely and be heardLetras de cancionesSomeone got a transmitterStarted up a stationThen the idea spreadRight across the nationLike the land and waterThe air must be freeSo let us shout together"Fuck the FCC!"Seize the airwavesSeize the timeLying to the peopleIs the real crimeWhen it's all owned by corporationsAnd theirs is the only wordWe will seize the airwavesSpeak freely and be heardAnd we'll do it all togetherIn a grassroots styleBreaking down the fencesThroughout this whole square mileIt's the new Town MeetingIt's the way the news should beThe rulers call it chaosWe say it's democracySo when you turn on the radioAnd you've had it with this shitFrom 88 to 107Makes you want to have a fitWhen you listen to the musicAnd it's all the same pop songStart up a pirate station'Cause that's where you belongSeize the airwavesSeize the timeLying to the peopleIs the real crimeWhen it's all owned by corporationsAnd theirs is the only wordWe will seize the airwavesSpeak freely and be heard From Letras Mania
