There’s a message up in China
That they getting in Japan
Bouncing off an ocean liner
Make em shake em in Siam
All the kids are complaining
That there’s nowhere to go
All the kids are complaining
That the songs are too slow
All I’m saying is you’re deaf
To the fact that there’s …
Radios in motion
Atmosphere to ocean
Radios in motion
Gets you out of your red white and blues
When we move then so do you’se
There’s a message in Milwaukee
That they’re getting in Moscow
Everybody walkie talkie
Everybody learning how
All the kids are complaining
