We're Progressive FM, you can't call us mainstream The only real radio versus a big machine Those little whispers start to shake the floor And the noise can be heard from the corporate doors Excuse me for mentioning, but there's people here And people out there with people ears I'm looking for a record and talking on the phone And I ain't your average radio clone

I'm an FM jock and I play them as I see There ain't no strings pulling on me And why is my station We're the only one We don't make much money But we sure have fun We won't play a record Just because it's a hit But we love New Wave and those punk girls' tits

Stuff the surveys and computerize sweeps Shove the billboard charts in the backseat Black sea We get free records and tickets to the shows Just a couple of perks for working on the radio. I'm working on the radio. I'm working on the radio. I'm working on the radio. I'm working on the radio. I'm working on the radio.

I'm working on the radio I'm working I'm working on the radio I'm working I'm working I'm working on the radio I'm working on the radio I'm working on the radio
