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

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

Like a phantom hurricane[00:00:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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