lyrics

I've heard this song played on the radio now
Near the top of the charts, and I think that somehow
That hidden inside it subliminally
Is a message that stirs some reaction in me

And when it's on I've got to turn the volume up to ten
And then it's over and I hope that I might hear it again

I can't hear those words
And I'll sing them wrong
But that melody
Will always make me try my best to sing along

Although the station says my song's overplayed
I requested it twenty-eight times just today
And though each time it sounds the same as before
I still have no idea what they're mumbling for

And when it's on I've got to turn the volume up to ten
And then it's over and I hope that I might hear it again

I can't hear those words
And I'll sing them wrong
But that melody
Will always make me try my best to sing along

Well I gave in and bought the tape yesterday
On the jacket inside it explains what they say
Although I scan it through perpetually
All the lyrics are scribbled illegibly

And when it's on I've got to turn the volume up to ten
And when it's over I rewind the tape and blast it again

I can't hear those words
And I'll sing them wrong
But that melody
Will always make me try my best to sing...

I can't hear those words
And I'll sing them wrong
But that melody
Will always make me try my best to sing along.
