Liberation Frequency Lyrics
It's coming through the air for all of us to hear. Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
We want the airwaves back, We want the airwaves back. We don't just want airtime we want all the time all of the time.
We want the airwaves back, We want the airwaves back. We want transmission for the people by the people.
What frequency are you getting? Is it noise or sweet sweet music? On what frequency will liberation be? x2
It's coming through the air for all of us to hear. Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
Control my flower, business and news all ready to devour. Who's in charge and what does he say?
Is he playing alternative or does it sound the same old way?
We want the airwaves back...
We want the airwaves back, We want the airwaves back. We don't just want airtime we want all the time all of the time.
We want the airwaves back, We want the airwaves back. We want transmission for the people by the people.
What frequency are you getting? Is it noise or sweet sweet music? On what frequency will liberation be? x2

You can find out a lot about what Refused's songs mean if you read their manifestos in the liner notes of The Shape of Punk to Come:
"Turn the knob and wait for the liberating sound of ecstasy and revolution. Who pays the newsman and who owns the radio stations and who runs the record label? Who benefits from the de-politicizing in art and music and who benefits from the clean sound of the next pop wonder? Who runs the game show and who pays the salaries to the reporters? Here and now we offer you a taste of our liberation frequency, provided by us for your satisfaction and excitement. This is radio clash, 33 Revolutions Per Minute, our haven of thoughts and ideas. It could be yours too, if only you’d let yourself go and turn the knob and listen and love and sing and think."
could it be any more straight forward?
yeah well this song is so good to dance to. i mean you understand why dennis leaps around the stage....and then when he says sweet sweet sa sweeet...itrs the besyt part. you have to be moving
it makes me think of yugoslavia or whatever the hell they called themselves then when slovodan milosevich was in power, and was trying to keep that power by shutting down the radio and TV stations...
