This song speaks to the large amount of dissatisfaction people have with mainstream music, media, and television. Rather than complain about it, it's important to offer a better alternative (and complain only a little).
lyrics
Unclog the main stream and let it flow
Don't wait for the current, tell it where to go
Bring back the singers, bring back the song
When the groove was real and the message was strong
Lemme hear something new
Lemme hear something clever
It won't forward if it don't get better
So What we Gunna do?
Put this on the radio!
Just 'cause it's in the spotlight
That doesn't mean that its the best
hustle in a clear direction
to put you ahead of the rest
If you got something good
If you've got something clever
Don't keep changing the station
When you can put it on the airwaves forever
Put this on the radio! Radi-ooo!
And let the people choose!
Put this on the radio! Radi-oooo!!
And let the bad songs lose
Bring back the art!
Bring back the soul!
Dollars alone won't create the whole
Put this in the radio!
I ain't scared 'a no bell curve
I don't need no stats
I dont wanna listen to a singer
Who doesn't even know they're flat
I'm Gunna make someone groove
I'm Gunna make someone shiver
Let Music be our muse
Always and forever!
Put this on the radio! Radi-ooo!
And let the people choose!
Put this on the radio! Radi-oooo!
And let the bad songs lose
Bring back the art!
Bring back the soul!
Dollars alone won't create the whole
Put this in the radio!
To be bold, Be true
See nothing as old and you'll create the new.
we need quality in the mainstream... and better minds choosing our news
don't let pop culture be dominated by bad thinking & poor decision making.
refuse to allow violent, selfish, or stupid people make decisions for the rest of us.
Think! Use your mind to think! Challenge what is not right
Let the best idea win... The idea that is in the people's best interest win
Put this on the radio! Radi-ooo!
And let the people choose!
Put this on the radio! Radi-oooo!
And let the bad songs lose
Bring back the art!
Bring back the soul!
Dollars alone won't create the whole
Put this in the radio!
