We are, we are
Radio controlled
Radio controlled
Oh oh ooh oh oh...
At the age of six
We put the wires in her veins
Didn't know if later on
She'd go insane
Insane.
At the age of seven
We admit we questioned our choice
To see her struggle adjusting
Wasn't so nice
So nice.
But at the age of eight
On a routine maintenance drill
We knew we'd done her right
Straight A's and not on any pills
No pills.
We are, we are
Radio controlled
Radio controlled
Oh oh ooh oh oh...
At the age of twelve
She worked in her daddy's shop
Though we knew she wouldn't like that
Having to talk
Having to talk
At the age of sixteen
We readied her for the prom
Didn't know she'd have to
Hide her antennas that long
That long
At the age of 18
We knew she had to go to school
A perfect student
Hated weed, and alcohol...
We are, we are
Radio controlled
Radio controlled
Oh oh ooh oh oh...
At the age of forty
We knew we had gone too far
But once you sink the hooks in
You feel the fear at every hour
At the age of fifty
Her wires showed a little rust
Her brain responded the same
And it was lost to a virus
Now we're on our d**h beds
And we hear the clarion call
Wonder who'll take care of her
When her back's up against the wall.
So heed a lesson
If you care about your little youth
Let them fly free
Or they'll be radio controlled.
We are, we are
Radio controlled
Radio controlled
Oh oh ooh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh aw oh oh
We are we are
Radio control
Radio control
Radio control...
