| 88.2 is your Saviour station
|
| God hangs like a shadow high above the nation
|
| Like a phantom hurricane
|
| 91.6 is Classic Soul
|
| Obama flyer still hanging by the side of the road
|
| Like a long last prayer
|
| And the pawn shops glisten like the porn girl stars
|
| And the cheap imitation armoured cars
|
| Roll up and down past empty bars
|
| Showing re-runs of the glory years
|
| But now the Champion of All Time is getting battered and bruised
|
| The blows come raining down
|
| He’s standing there terrified to lose
|
| But he’s punch-drunk and he’s going down
|
| 94.7 is the Weather Channel
|
| Floods and droughts and plagues straight out of the Bible
|
| And the scientists shake their heads
|
| And the air-con unit rattles and dies
|
| The golf course green but the wells are dry
|
| All looking to heaven with anxious eyes
|
| As the vapour trails drift across cloudless skies
|
| 96.4 is Classic Rock
|
| Some of the kids that were sent are not coming back
|
| It’s like a ritual sacrifice
|
| Pressed uniforms and body-bags
|
| And the smalltown church all decked with flags
|
| And the waiting beds unslept in
|
| By the ghosts all up in Arlington
|
| And as the leaves blow on an autumn day
|
| The funeral gathering kneels to pray
|
| Make it OK, make it OK, God, please, make it OK
|
| 101-point-nothing is the shock jocks
|
| Where every week is Hate Week
|
| And we can scream and rage about everything
|
| Then get back in the box that they keep us in
|
| As the great land stretches on
|
| Where the endless hopes are born
|
| All caught in a false dawn that lasts forever
|
| And the great land stretches on
|
| Where the endless dreams are born
|
| All caught in a false dawn that lasts forever |
