girls on radio

(a new buttonfly song, for girl reducers)

i want more i want more i want more like i had before i tuned in to you

you spin the records all too fast you aren’t playing what i asked for
& it’s too hot to argue too hot to talk
where's my chick rock? where's my foxtrot?

girls talk women rock, where's the problem?
come'on find me a good chick rock
a good tick tock, that you won't mock

BRIDGE:
i'm throwing down the glove, don't throw in the towel
i won't switch the dial even though i've been waiting quite a while
i don't know where i’ve been, just tuned in to the wrong station
on the radio

the louder it gets the easier to place your bets
& i’m betting on this year long stand-off
there’s no reason to insist, but it would be better if
we starting playing the same tune
if we believed, if i believed
in rock & roll girls on the radio
girls on radio

BRIDGE: what’s enough what’s too much
i won’t give up if you say i can’t rock
i’ll say, oh, but i can roll, so roll over baby
let’s go let’s go let’s go

i’m pulling out all the stops reading between the lines
waiting for the punch line i’m a girl i’m a girl
when i talk i can hear you sigh
wave me over, whisper the bass line
i don’t want to take up your time
asking for the same song, whining the same whine.
the airwaves are forgetting is it a lie lie girls on radio
a lie lie lie lie lie girls
