Super mean machine 
Taking over all the kids you've ever seen 
Locked into the screen 
Jabbing at the buttons like they're in a dream 
Don't want a Mega drive 
Just give me spud-u-like 
And lots of records that'll make me scream 
Give me the radio playing all the songs I know 
Don't want no Gameboy just a rock and roll  
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul  
 
Virtual reality taking over grown ups like you've never seen 
Locked into the screen 
Simulated mass-destruction oh so clean 
Don't want a Mega drive 
Just give me spud-u-like 
And lots of records that'll make me scream 
Give me the radio playing all the songs I know 
Don't want no Gameboy just a rock and roll  
 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul  
 
Kids grow up to be 
Simulation junkies when the game's for real 
Don't want no C.T.V. when they're pushing all the buttons 
And the game's for free 
Don't give me a Mega drive 
Just give me spud-u-like 
And lots of music that'll make me scream 
No mean machine in my dreams 
I need you, radio 
I want you, radio 
I need you, radio 
I want you for the things you do 
No more Gameboy just want rock and roll 
No more Top Gun just want rock and roll 
No more smart bombs just want rock and roll 
No more Gameboy just want rock and roll 
 
 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a Gameboy just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that ain't got no soul 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want smart bombs just rock and roll 
Oh a oh give me a radio 
Don't want a system that's not rock and roll
