DEVILS RADIO
The words to this
song are NOT placed here for you to learn or sing….only to help you see
The foresight
George Harrison had in writing about the clever adversary of God and men. Think about
These words as
you read them. Ponder the impact of the
entertainment industry on our friends and families.
Recorded in
England. Released 11/1/87. From the album "Cloud Nine". Words
and music by George Harrison (former
Beatle).
I heard it in the night
Words of thoughtless speech
like Vultures swooping down below
on the devils radio.
I hear it through the day
airwaves getting filled
with gossip broadcasts to and fro
on the devils radio
He's in the clubs and bars
and never turns it down
talking about what he don't know
on the devils radio
He's in your TV sets
won't give it a rest
that soul betraying so and so
the devils radio
It's white and black like industrial waste
pollution in the highest degree
you wonder why I don't speak out much
I wonder how you can't see.
He's in the films and songs
and all your magazines
He's everywhere that you may go
the devils radio
Runs fast, no one really sees
quite what bad he can do
He shapes you into something cold
like an Eskimo's igloo.
It's all across our lives
like a weed it spreads
nothing else has space to grow
the devils radio.
It can creep up in the dark
make us hide behind shades
and buzzing like a dynamo
the devils radio.
