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 [bad word] outside 
To feel the wind in 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 this time and this crazy dream 

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 stage 
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 up 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 

Buzzing around like a moth to a flame 
I'm so sick and tired of playing this game 
We gotta have fun it it's all that we do 
Gotta shake up the system and break all [bad word] 
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
