《States Radio》歌词

[00:00:26] 88 2 is your Saviour station

[00:00:29] God hangs like a shadow high above the nation

[00:00:34] Like a phantom hurricane

[00:00:37] 91 6 is Classic Soul

[00:00:40] Obama flyer still hanging by the side of the road

[00:00:45] Like a long last prayer

[00:00:49] And the pawn shops glisten like the porn girl stars

[00:00:52] And the cheap imitation armoured cars

[00:00:55] Roll up and down past empty bars

[00:00:57] Showing re-runs of the glory years

[00:01:00] But now the Champion of All Time is getting battered and bruised

[00:01:04] The blows come raining down

[00:01:06] He's standing there terrified to lose

[00:01:09] But he's punch-drunk and he's going down

[00:01:23] 94 7 is the Weather Channel

[00:01:26] Floods and droughts and plagues straight out of the Bible

[00:01:31] And the scientists shake their heads

[00:01:34] And the air-con unit rattles and dies

[00:01:37] The golf course green but the wells are dry

[00:01:40] All looking to heaven with anxious eyes

[00:01:43] As the vapour trails drift across cloudless skies

[00:01:57] 96 4 is Classic Rock

[00:02:01] Some of the kids that were sent are not coming back

[00:02:05] It's like a ritual sacrifice

[00:02:09] Pressed uniforms and body-bags

[00:02:11] And the smalltown church all decked with flags

[00:02:15] And the waiting beds unslept in

[00:02:18] By the ghosts all up in Arlington

[00:02:20] And as the leaves blow on an autumn day

[00:02:23] The funeral gathering kneels to pray

[00:02:26] Make it OK make it OK God please make it OK

[00:02:32] 101-point-nothing is the shock jocks

[00:02:35] Where every week is Hate Week

[00:02:37] And we can scream and rage about everything

[00:02:40] Then get back in the box that they keep us in

[00:02:43] As the great land stretches on

[00:02:46] Where the endless hopes are born

[00:02:49] All caught in a false dawn that lasts forever

[00:02:55] And the great land stretches on

[00:03:04] Where the endless dreams are born

[00:03:57] All caught in a false dawn that lasts forever
