lyrics

Hello DJ, could you play a simple song

Man, these drivetime jokes leave me stuck in a jam
We all try to hit the post, sometimes we talk on the ramp
Me, I’m a first-time caller with a lot to confess
To a graveyard shift call-in host who is hardly impressed

Hello DJ, could you play a simpler song
Hello DJ, and make us believe we all belong

Here’s to a bitter shock jock who’s been stuck in denial
Since he caught a breath of dead air somewhere left of the dial
Me, I’m a long-time listener with some axes to grind
But even when you let me down I never left you behind

So backsell me, just for tonight

Hello DJ, could you play an even simpler song
Hello DJ, to make us believe we all belong

For a long time now I’ve been stuck on the top
Of the hour and there is no news to report
It’s a long way to Brussels without a song in your mind
So payola ayatollahs push the fader up high

Hello DJ, could you play us the simplest song
Hello DJ, trick us into believing that we all belong

Hello DJ, tell me it’s gonna be alright
Even if only for tonight
