Radio Wars

[Intro] [Downtuned 7-string guitar, heavy syncopated riff] [Hip-hop influenced drums, electronic elements] [DJ scratch sounds, industrial samples] [Aggressive, modern production] [Verse 1] [Nu-metal groove, rap-rock style delivery] [Aggressive but melodic undertones] [Electronic bass hits] They said rock was dead, buried in the ground Then we came back louder with a brand new sound Seven strings, drop tuning, breaking all the rules Mixing rap and metal, yeah, we're nobody's fools Corporate radio trying to tell us what to play But we're the soundtrack to the anger of the day TRL and MTV, they can't ignore us now We're the radio wars and we're taking our vow [Pre-Chorus] [Building tension, electronic elements intensifying] [Screamed backing vocals underneath] Turn the dial! Find the station! We're the voice of a frustrated generation! [Chorus] [Massive hook, half-sung half-screamed] [Heavy guitars with electronic backing] [Radio-ready but still aggressive] RADIO WARS! FIGHTING FOR THE DIAL! RADIO WARS! BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE! WE'RE TOO HEAVY FOR POP, TOO CATCHY FOR UNDERGROUND! RADIO WARS! THIS IS OUR SOUND! TURN IT UP! TURN IT UP! WE'RE TAKING OVER NOW! RADIO WARS! RADIO WARS! [Verse 2] [Heavier, more aggressive] [Screaming mixed with singing] [Turntable scratches between lines] Downloaded, burned, and shared on Napster files Mainstream rejected us but we went for miles Ozzfest stages, Warped Tour crowds We're the misfit army and we're playing loud Pop-punk on one side, nu-metal on the other Radio stations trying to pick one or the other But we don't fit in boxes, we don't play their game We're the radio wars and we're staking our claim [Pre-Chorus] [Same build, more intense] Change the station! Hear the noise! We're the soundtrack for the angry girls and boys! [Chorus] [Even BIGGER, more aggressive] RADIO WARS! FIGHTING FOR THE DIAL! RADIO WARS! BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE! WE'RE TOO HEAVY FOR POP, TOO CATCHY FOR UNDERGROUND! RADIO WARS! THIS IS OUR SOUND! TURN IT UP! TURN IT UP! WE'RE TAKING OVER NOW! RADIO WARS! RADIO WARS! [Breakdown] [Heavy, slow, crushing] [Spoken/screamed aggressive delivery] [Electronic glitches and industrial sounds] (Breakdown, heavy and slow) You can't Kill What Won't Die Rock Is Still Alive [Bridge] [Clean guitars with electronic atmosphere] [Melodic singing, vulnerable moment] They told us we were too angry They told us we were too loud But when the world feels heavy We become the sound of the crowd We're not your parent's music We're not your radio's choice But millions of kids are listening And we became their voice [Final Chorus] [MAXIMUM AGGRESSION AND MELODY] [All elements combined] RADIO WARS! FIGHTING FOR THE DIAL! RADIO WARS! BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE! WE'RE TOO HEAVY FOR POP, TOO CATCHY FOR UNDERGROUND! RADIO WARS! THIS IS OUR SOUND! TURN IT UP! (RADIO WARS!) TURN IT UP! (THIS IS OUR SOUND!) RADIO WARS! RADIO WARS! WE'RE TAKING OVER NOW! [Outro] [Heavy riff with electronic glitches] [DJ scratches and industrial samples] [Fade out on crushing breakdown]
