I'm a player in a game show
And it's poisoning my mind
I'm a string on someone's yo-yo
I feel my life is trivialized

Ah... oh yeah

I eat scandal for my breakfast
I spit gossip late at night

I'm not one for fancy speeches
But they're sucking me like leeches

Feel my body's
Under radio control

Listen

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey - radio

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey - yeah, radio


Every woman that I'm loving
She got to have that sense of style
And all the men love that aggression
They want to walk that extra mile

I'm getting sick of competition
You better take me off this mission


Feel my body's
Under radio control

Listen

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey - radio

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey -
yes, the radio

I always stay fresh, don't run out of juice
I don't let the power run dry
Don't make a fool of myself, let my tongue hang too loose
I stay out of range to survive

Every woman, yeah
She got to walk that extra mile


I'm not one for fancy speeches
But they're sucking me like leeches

Feel my body's
Under radio
Under radio
Under radio control

Listen

Hey hey hey - yes

Hey hey hey - uh huh

Hey hey hey - radio

Hey hey hey - yes, the radio


Walk forwards, walk backwards
Radio control
Work hard, take a vacation
Radio control

Whoo!

Radio control
