[Verse 1]

Ain't gonna to take it, it's our time
We want the world and we want it now
We're gonna take it anyhow

[Chorus]
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, well all right
Let's rock, tonight
All night
Oh yeah, well all right
Let's rock, tonight
All night

[Verse 2]
Where's your guts and will to survive?
Don't you want to keep rock n' roll music alive?
Mr. Programmer, I got my hammer
Gonna smash my smash my radio (oh)
[Chorus]
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves (that's right, that's right)
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock's gonna stay alive

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, well all right
Let's rock, tonight
All night
Oh yeah,well all right
Let's rock, tonight
All night

[Outro]
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby
