Every Time You Turn It On (early 1990's)

Every time you turn it on
It's something you don't want to hear
If you're feeling happy then it's something sad
If you're feeling bad then it's something glad
It's something you don't want to hear

The windshield wipers are caressing rain
And you don't think you'll ever be the same
The song on the radio's sayin' it'll be all right
And you just hope you make it through another night
It's something you don't want to hear

Every time you turn it on
It's something you don't want to hear
If you're feeling happy then it's something sad
If you're feeling bad then it's something glad
It's something you don't want to hear

The sun's beating down through the window pane
The radio's blaring a moody refrain
Bringing minor chords to a major day
And you were hoping it would stay this way
It's something you don't want to hear

Every time you turn it on
It's something you don't want to hear
If you're feeling happy then it's something sad
If you're feeling bad then it's something glad
It's something you don't want to hear

Your eyes are cryin' as you turn that dial
Your hope is dyin' and the man says smile
You think you'll never be yourself til then
And the man is sayin' he'll make you new again
It's something you don't want to hear

Every time you turn it on
It's something you don't want to hear
If you're feeling happy then it's something sad
If you're feeling bad then it's something glad
It's something you don't want to hear
