Free news won't last long in your lifespan, the broadcast won't last says the radio man. The air (A) was bought over by the grand communication (G*C), less for one free amplitude modulation (A≠0). I can see (C) on UHF around the world seldom nonfactual, Disagreed, devoid of editing and stories national: BBC Don't you see (C) just what you’ll be (B) before you know it's gone (G)? What frequency did to me. Y-sister Radio, what did you do to eight-track? What did you do Añan Sado? What did you do to me? What have you done to me? Soon the world was ablaze with the correct information and the only major threat left to the grand communication. The populace was scared but intellectually grown, history was written by the man with the microphone. The people had dispersed; the populace had gathern like the allegory of the people chained up in the cavern. To fear the truth, can we all turn our ears away? In my ear, widespread fear. Sister Radio, what did you do to eight-track? What have you done, it’s time to let go. What did you do to me? What have you done to me? Soon the new age came with the Old Car Queen and the bias information on the television screen. No longer having to compete with truth that is the fear, the truth's no longer found inside our ionosphere. I used to be quite dignified but virtuosos stumble, and then I played computers with the New Music Ensemble. I guess this goes to show you technological remain. Frequent, see? Did to me. Mister Radio, What did you do to get back? What with the news of new U.F.O, What have you done to me? We heard vibrations as it radiates dynamical, We lost nostalgia going electromechanical, Resist-her, transistor radio has failed me, With stochasticity. What did you do to eight-track? What did you do to Rachel Maddow? Done to me. Now we’re on ‘till radio’s gone, Mr. R. J. Apostle. Radio’s failed.
