Who Owns Your Dial? Songtext

von Jack Chernos

Hey, who owns your dial?
Hey, who owns your dial?
You're not gonna hear it on the radio
With the NAB at the microphone
Airwave monopolies are now legal!

Hey, who owns your dial?
Hey, who owns your dial?
The Telecomm. Act of 1996
Was a silent coup of the public interest
Two corporations now own most all the larger stations!

Hear all about it, but only on the street!
The N.A.B. bought the F.C.C.
Hear all about it, but only on the street!
The news of the corporate buyout of the news
Does not make the corporate news

Hey, who owns your dial?
Who owns your TV, newspapers, music, books, movies and magazines?
I'm afraid it's basically down to six
If that doesn't scare you, nothing will
Democracy with a highly-centralized media is a sham

Hear all about it, but only on the street!
The N.A.B. bought the F.C.C.
Hear all about it, but only on the street!
The news of the corporate buyout of the news
Does not make the corporate news
