Joy Oladokun - Raised By The Radio (A Reintroduction) Lyrics

Joy Oladokun Lyrics

"Raised By The Radio (A Reintroduction)"

My girl was raised by the radio
She taught herself how to play
She's so obsessed with songs of yesterday

I've seen her dance like the videos
I've seen her kneel down and pray
Her questions for God and the DJ are both the same

How do you live?
How do you take it?
How do you love with no expectations?

When you're in debt, how do you borrow?
(How do you borrow when you've run out of grace?)
We've got nothing left but hope for tomorrow
(Feels like we're living in the judgement days)

Do you get tired of trying to break through?
(Play me something to take my blues away)
What's your favorite song to dissociate to?
(Play me something to take my blues away)

Do I wake up
Or just keep pretending
These violent delights
Don't have violent endings?
