Free Radical Radio Fever
Rest in Power Erik!
[Verse 1]
A
Come sit down
D A
Your name is on the table
D A
Between the graves and cradles
E F#m E
Before the old and new
A D A
Wait your turn and smile for the papers
D A E
The sanders and the shapers will have their way with you
A
And shake the hands of masters
D
While outside insurrection
F#m
The sound can’t be mistaken
D
So pretend like you don’t know them
A
And say you’re goin' beyond it
D F#m
You're ready for some peace
D F#m E A
And who can argue with that argument when no one says a thing?
[Verse 2]
A D A
Come kneel down and beg for some redemption
D A
You finally learned your lesson
E F#m
That this is how we change
E- A
Not here nor there
D A
No patriot or traitor
D A
You’ve learned to sit for supper
E
And you’re sleeping in your cage
A
Its politics as normal
D
Its votes and views and morals
F#m D
None of which mean nothing to the people kept in storage
A
Who wake up in the morning
D F#m
The nights are in your hands
D F#m E A A
At least the smashers and the crashers know exactly where they stand
[Chorus]
A D
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
F#m D F#m E
That we can’t afford no liberals in times like these
A D
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
F#m D A E
No, we can’t afford no liberals in times like these

[Verse 3]
A
Come lay down
D A
They’ll put you underwater
D A
Like clay unto a potter
E F#m E
They'll wash the dirty clean
A D A
Let’s hear your plan for a Natural World Order
D A
Free trade across the borders
E
Gas efficient war machine
A
The debt tree needs a trimming
D
The poison earth needs weeding
F#m
Your houses are sinking
D
And the seas they are rising
A
It’s all so inconvenient
D F#m
Let’s stall it while we can
D F#m
And so its business as usual
E A A
Give the liberal a hand
[Chorus]
A D
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
F#m D F#m E
That we can’t afford no liberals in times like these
A D
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
F#m D A E
No, we can’t afford no liberals in times like these
