Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
And cackles of the sound of stagehands
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
And the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls
G. D. hall! (cheers)
For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
concert hall (cheers)
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Blind antennae bristle with the energy
Bright antennae bristle with the energy.
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Grease up the railways.
Invisible airwaves
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Like Nintendo bristle with the energy
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennas bristle with the energy
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Life and death all bristle with the energy.
Bright antenna bristle with the energy.
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Ripe and tender gristle with the energy
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Rush's,
"The Spirit Of Radio"
Walk away to the friendly shore
Begin the day with a friendly voice
Rush's,
"The Spirit of Radio"
Blithe contenders bristle with the energy
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Rush's,
"The Spirit of Radio"
For the words of the prophets were written on the stereo wall.
For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall.
Rush's,
"The Spirit of Radio"
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
'God D*** All!'
The words of the profits are written on the studio walls
'Concert Hall'
I also used to think the song was called 'Desperate of Radio'.
