“The End of Radio” seems to be a loosely told story about the end of humanity itself, told from the perspective of the last survivor of a nuclear holocaust. It waxes philosophical about the final wave leaving the transmitter and never reaching a receiver, as the man trapped inside the broadcasting s...
The End of Radio Lyrics
Is this thing on?
Can you hear me now?
Oh god
Is thing on?
Test test test test test test
Can you hear me now?
As we come to the close of our broadcast day
This is my farewell transmission
Signing off Mr. and Mrs. America all the ships at sea
Anyone within the sound of my voice
I've got fifty thousand watts of power
I wanna ionize the air
This microphone turns sound into electricity
Can you hear me now?
Out on route one twenty eight, the dark and lonely
You got my radio on?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
It's the end of the radio
That snare drum
That drum roll means we got a winner
If you're the fifth caller, or any caller at all
Welcome to my top ten
I'd like to thank our sponsor
We haven't got a sponsor
Not if you were the last man on earth
And she was prepared to prove it
This one goes out to a special girl
There is no special girl
It's the end of the radio
The last announcer plays the last record
The last watt leaves the transmitter
Circles the globe in search of a listener
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Is it really broadcasting if there is no one there to receive?
It's the end of radio
As we come to the close of our broadcast day
Got my radio on
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
This is a test
If this had been a real emergency
Hey hey!
This is a real goddamn emergency!

Steve Albini told Exclaim
Well, it is neat how there is kind of a subculture of radio DJs and they tend to speak in a stilted manner that is sort of instantly recognizable, as “the radio DJ. Whether they’re in a big town or a small town, they all tend to have this stentorian delivery or exaggerate...
