You wake up in the morning, get something for the potWonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hotDraw on the walls, eat, get laidBack in the good old daysThen some damn fool invents the wheelListen to the whitewalls squealYou spend all day looking for a parking spotNothing for the heart, nothing for the potBenny turned the dial on his Short Wave radioOh how he wanted to talk to the people,he wanted his own showTune in Moscow. Tune in New YorkListen tot the Welsh kid talkCommunicating like in the good old daysForgive me father for I have sinnedIt was either me or himAnd a voice said BennyYou fucked the whole thing upBenny your time is upYour time is upBenny turned the dial on his Short Wave radioHe wanted to talk to the peopleHe wanted his own showTune in Moscow. Tune in New YorkListen to the Welsh kid talk communicatingLike in the good old daysForgive me FatherWelsh Policeman: Mobile One Two to Central.For I have sinnedWelsh Policeman: We have a multiple on the A465 between Cwmbran and Cylgoch.Father it was either me or him.Father can we turn back the clock?Welsh Policeman: Ambulance, over.I never meant to drop the concrete block.Welsh Policeman: Roger central, over and out.Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radioHe wanted to talk to the peopleHe wanted his own showTune in Moscow. Tune in New YorkListen to the Welsh kid talkJust like in the good old daysThe good old daysRadio announcer: Do you really think Iranian terrorists would have taken Americans hostage if Ronald Reagan were president? Do you really think the Russians would have invaded Afghanistan if Ronald Reagan were president? Do you really think third-rate military dictators would laugh at America and burn our flag in contempt if Ronald Reagan were president?Concerned Citizen: Well, it might work!Hostage: We as a group do most importantly want to beseech President Reagan and our fellow Americans to refrain from any form of military or violent means as an attempt, no matter how noble or heroic, to secure our freedom.Concerned Citizen: Sure! Only it's going to be mighty dangerous for you, CassidyHoppy's faithful sidekick: guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy, Mister. Adventure's his bread, excitement's his butter and danger, why to him that's like strawberry jam to top it off.Jim: This is some live rock and roll at KAOS, where rock and roll comes out of chaos and a song called The Powers that Be
