This is how it started   It's not hard to understand   From coast to coast they're lying   At a CEO's command   From Nationalist Public Radio   CNN and ABC   Big Brother's spewing propaganda   From the Disinformation Ministry      They say the economy is blooming   We hear the homeless beggar's cries   They say we help poor countries   We see bombs falling from the skies   Reality doesn't exist   They're trying to say   But some of us decided   There is another way      Seize the airwaves   Seize the time   Lying to the people   Is the real crime   When it's all owned by corporations   And theirs is the only word   We will seize the airwaves   Speak freely and be heard      Someone got a transmitter   Started up a station   Then the idea spread   Right across the nation   Like the land and water   The air must be free   So let us shout together   "Fuck the FCC!"      Seize the airwaves   Seize the time   Lying to the people   Is the real crime   When it's all owned by corporations   And theirs is the only word   We will seize the airwaves   Speak freely and be heard      And we'll do it all together   In a grassroots style   Breaking down the fences   Throughout this whole square mile   It's the new Town Meeting   It's the way the news should be   The rulers call it chaos   We say it's democracy      So when you turn on the radio   And you've had it with this shit   From 88 to 107   Makes you want to have a fit   When you listen to the music   And it's all the same pop song   Start up a pirate station   'Cause that's where you belong      Seize the airwaves   Seize the time   Lying to the people   Is the real crime   When it's all owned by corporations   And theirs is the only word   We will seize the airwaves   Speak freely and be heard
