Octopolis lyrics

Public Radio Deadbeat

public radio deadbeat
when it's pledge week I listen to CDs
public radio deadbeat
I listen for free
I feel so guilty

money's tight cause I ain't got no job
what's your excuse?
I never listen for very long
they'll just waste it on organic beer
I serve food to homeless once a year

public radio deadbeat
when it's pledge week I listen to CDs
public radio deadbeat
I listen for free
I feel so guilty

NPR's too liberal and left-wing
what's your excuse?
NPR's too corporate and mainstream
can't they just sell more Mercedes ads?
I'm afraid of becoming my Dad

just pick up the phone
here's the number call it
open your heart
and your hipster velcro wallet
alright man maybe I'll donate
if you think that public radio
can help me get a date

I drive a hybrid Prius every day
what's your excuse?
I don't have to donate cause I'm gay
I spent it all on my new Macintosh
don't you know how much high fashion costs?

public radio deadbeat
when it's pledge week I listen to CDs
public radio deadbeat
I listen for free
I feel so guilty
I feel so guilty
we feel so guilty
