Lyrics

We're gonna try to be commercial, Just like we did it at rehearsal Try not to be very thrilling Then maybe we can make a million No being rude or outrageous To make you think that we're contagious No dirty words or political statements No more recording in our basement Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio... Maybe we could change your minds Or maybe we could buy some time Work real hard to show you we're able Or make a payoff under the table Act real nice, act real sweet Make our humour tongue in cheek Tell all the DJs how cool they are Maybe they can make us rich rock stars Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio... Lay our cards down on the table Or make a pact with the devil Rob a bank and buy the station Bacome the king of communication Attempt the blackmail of a DJ, Maybe we could get played that way Give them more than just a kiss Anything to get on the playlist Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio... Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio Trying to get on the radio... Radio Radio Radio (to fade)
