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 just to show you we're able.
Or make a payoff under the table.
Act real nice, act real sweet.
And make our humour tongue in cheek.
And tell all the DJs how cool they are.
And 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.
Become 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]
