Turn Your Radio Around
Words and music by Jim Colegrove

It gets kinda lonely out here
Out here in this neck of the woods
Turn your radio on
Sound drifts through the neighborhoods
But the songs that I hear on the Clear Channel
Bore me right out of my brain
Then late one night
When the stars were right
I heard a signal from the subterrain
If you want to hear this
You’ve got to turn your radio around
It won’t pick it up the way it is
You’ve got to turn your radio around
I twisted the dial all around
Trying to tune that new beat in
Then I realized I had to
Change the direction it was pointing, then
When I turned it around I heard a sound
That I never heard before
How could I have known
Having never been shown
Now I wanted to hear more and more
If you want to hear this
You’ve got to turn your radio around
It won’t pick it up the way it is
You’ve got to turn your radio around
There’s a whole other world out there
One that they don’t want us to hear
Why the hell is that?
Just what is it they all fear?
Is it only rock ’n’ roll
Or is it losing all control?
I turned on a light
Right there in the night
I heard a voice down deep in my soul
If you want to hear this
You’ve got to turn your radio around
It won’t pick it up the way it is
You’ve got to turn your radio around
