Regret the moment that I let you go  
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin’ so much

Radio is a sound salvation  
Radio is cleaning up the nation  
They say you better listen to the voice of reason  
But they don’t give you any choice 'cause they think that it’s treason.  
So you had better do as you are told.  
You better listen to the radio.

But they said it really loud  
They said it on the air, on the radio  
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, on the radio  
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, on the radio

Ah, don’t you know that everybody is a radio receiver  
All you gotta do is listen for the call  
Turn your radio on - turn your radio on
