I can't get played on Air America
Here in the land of the free
They're just playing the odds I guess
But they should be playing me
I did a song about big old trees
And how they're getting uprooted
And another bout how Mumia
Should never have been executed
I did one song about Mohawks
And one about the Cherokee
They both used the same progression
But the chords are in a different key
I tried to reach the music director
But it must've been his day off
They hung up when I asked for
"Whoever exactly I need to pay off"
Cause my new song "Let's Raise Taxes"
Should be heard everywhere
But it seems it'll never be heard
Over American Air
I can't get played on Air America
I think it's a conspiracy
I'm not sure exactly what they're playing
But it sure as hell ain't me
I wrote a pro-choice anthem
And a rap about whales and plankton
But my friends said they'd never play it
'Cause I didn't mention Al Franken
I did a song about Kerry
How he's better than Gore
If Kerry hadn't shot up that whole village
That's probably who I'd vote for

I can't get played on Air America
Here in the land of the free
They're just playing the odds I guess
But they should be playing me
I tried folk, rock, ska, reggae, pop, and rap,
And now I feel like a doormat
No matter what I do it seems
My music doesn't fit their format
All I ask is a couple short weeks
spent in heavy rotation
If that happened I'd really make a point
to listen to the station
I can't get played on Air America
I think it's a conspiracy
I'm not sure exactly what they're playing
But it sure as hell ain't me
I can't get played on Air America
Here in the land of the free
I'm wondering if I should call them
Looks like they're not gonna call me
