Shellac - The End of Radio [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Is this thing on?
Can you hear me now?

Oh god
Is thing on?
Test test test test test test
Can you hear me now?
As we come to the close of our broadcast day
This is my farewell transmission
Signing off mr. and mrs. america all the ships at sea
Anyone within the sound of my voice
I've got fifty thousand watts of power
I wanna ionise the air
This microphone turns sound into electricity
Can you hear me now?
Out on route one twenty eight, the dark and lonely
You got my radio on?
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of the radio

That snaredrum
That drum roll means we got a winner
If you're the fifth caller, or any caller at all
Welcome to my top ten
I'd like to thank our sponsor
We haven't got a sponsor
Not if you were the last man on earth
And she was prepared to prove it
This one goes out to a special girl
There is no special girl
It's the end of the radio
The last announcer plays the last record
The last watt leaves the transmitter
Circles the globe in search of a listener

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

Is it really broadcasting if there is noone there to receive?
It's the end of radio
As we come to the close of our broadcast day
Got my radio on

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

This is a test
If this had been a real emergency
Hey hey!
This is a real goddamn emergency
