We're gonna try to be commercial,
just like we did it at rehearsal
Try not to be very thrilling
Then maybe we can make a million
No being rude or outrageous
to make you think that we're contagious
No dirty words or political statements
No more recording in our basement

Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...

Maybe we could change your minds
or maybe we could buy some time
Work real hard to show you we're able
or make a payoff under the table
Act real nice, act real sweet
Make our humour tongue in cheek
Tell all the DJs how cool they are
Maybe they can make us rich rock stars

Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...

Lay our cards down on the table
or make a pact with the devil
Rob a bank and buy the station
bacome the king of communication
Attempt the blackmail of a DJ,
maybe we could get played that way
Give them more than just a kiss
Anything to get on the playlist

Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...

Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio
Trying to get on the radio...
Radio
