Lyrics
Radio Waves front news, Everthing I read gives me the blues
Every single day they change their minds Don't listen to them their tellin us lies
We gotta be crazy to keep hanging on
We gotta be crazy to let them go on
We can't break away from our TV sets, The radios are playing same songs all day. People having trouble using their minds
Were told what to do, were told what to say
we gotta be crazy to let them go on
we gotta be crazy lets make them move on
I lost my faith in what they say
I wish I could hide or run away
But there 's no escape from the truth
The future is grim for our youth
We gotta be crazy to let them get away
We gotta be crazy if we let them get away
