When the world starts to get you down
And nothing seems to go your way
And the noise of the maddening crowd
Makes you feel like you're going to go insane

There's a glow of a distant light
Calling you to come outside
To feel the wind on your face and your skin
And it's here I begin my story

Turn up the radio, turn up the radio
Don't ask me where I wanna go
We gotta turn up the radio

It was time that I opened my eyes
I'm leaving the past behind
Nothing's ever what it seems
Including these driving me crazy things

I'm stuck like a moth to a flame
I'm so tired of playing this game
I don't know how I got to this state
Let me out of my cage, 'cause I'm dying

Turn up the radio, turn up the radio
Don't ask me where I wanna go
We gotta turn up the radio

(Turn up the radio, turn up the radio)
(Don't ask me where I wanna go)
(We gotta turn up the radio)

I just wanna get in my car
I wanna go fast and I gotta go far
Don't ask me to explain how I feel
'Cause I don't want to say where I'm going

Turn down the noise and turn up the volume
Don't have a choice, 'cause the temperature's pounding
If leaving this place, is the last thing I do
Then I want to escape, with a person just like you

I'm stuck in a rut like a moth to a flame
I'm so sick and tired, of playing this game
We gotta have fun, if that's all that we do
Gotta shake up the system and break all the rules
Gotta turn up the radio, until the speakers blow

Turn up the radio, turn up the radio
Don't ask me where I wanna go
We gotta turn up the radio

Turn up the radio, turn up the radio
There's some things you don't need to know
Just let me turn up the radio

(Turn up the radio)
(Just let me turn up the radio)
(Just let me turn up the radio)
