Music On The Radio Lyrics

I wish that I could change the weather
Enjoy the sound of silence in my car
There's things I just can't hate forever
I found a crowded place to fall apart

You can blame it on N E R D
You can blame it on a tangerine dream
You can blame it on a space man
Blame it on snacky, blame it on dexy

I don't like the music on the radio
They don't play my song
I don't like the music on the radio
But I sing along

I wish that I could change the weather
Enjoy the sound of silence in my car
There's things I just can't hate forever
I found a crowded place to fall apart

You can blame it on the neon trees
You can blame it on the love and rockets
You can blame it on a Ladytron
Blame it on snacky, blame it on dexy

I don't like the music on the radio
They don't play my song
I don't like the music on the radio
But I sing along

I don't like the music on the radio
They don't play my song
I don't like the music on the radio
But I sing along

I don't like the music on the radio
They don't play my song
I don't like the music on the radio
But I sing along

I don't like the music on the radio
They don't play my song
I don't like the music on the radio
But I sing along

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The duo themselves described the song as like a teenager rebelling against his imaginary emotions.
