In a world of noise and ignorance
There's a place called Radio 4
Where they calmly tell you just what you need to know
But the last time I tuned in I heard
Someone's voice I knew from before
'Cause he went to school with me in the year below

I don't know what to think anymore
I don't believe in Radio 4
I can't accept the authority
Of someone who used to be younger than me
I don't think I'll tune in anymore
I don't believe in Radio 4
It never will be the same to me

All the world made sense and we were safe
Til I last heard Radio 4
The human endeavour showed signs of doing well
But it's now become an institution
I just can't love anymore
If Crying Shorty McDandruff's there as well

I don't know who to trust anymore
I don't believe in Radio 4
A simple human's fallible views
Can't be true, and it can't be the news
Nowhere to look I stare at the floor
I don't believe in Radio 4
I don't believe in the BBC
I don't have any faith anymore
I don't believe in Radio 4
I'll have to face the world on my own
Slightly scared and so very alone
What will I use my radio for
I don't believe in Radio 4
And certainly not in Radio 3
