Radio from Punk Prayer by The Wasps
This song is about a tough veteran/soldier who has been through a lot of trauma and suffers from PTSD, but finds solace in listening to the radio all the time. He loves the little musical world he has created and takes his radio everywhere.

Lyrics
I MET A MAN - HIS NAME WAS STAN - AND HE WAS ALWAYS LISTENING TO THE RADIO
I SAID HI - HE SAID WHY - HE SAID I'VE GOT THE APP AND I'M READY TO GO
HE LIVED IN A TRAILER WITH JOHNNY THE SAILOR - AND A CAT CALLED DESERT STORM
THEY WERE SITTING AT A TABLE IN THE MIDDAY SUN - WITH THE CAT AND THE HEADPHONES ON
HE SAID AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - LOVE MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO
AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - GO ANYWHERE I WANNA GO - WANNA GO - WANNA GO
ALL I REALLY NEED IS MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO - THEY GONNA BURY ME WITH MY RA - DIO
I SAID WHEN - HE SAID THEN - BRING THAT CHAIR OVER HERE AND GRAB A COLD BEER
I SAID NOW - HE SAID SURE - HE SAID WHADDAYA THINK THAT THIS TABLE IS FOR
YOU'VE HEARD I'VE SERVED - DONE SOME STUFF - AND I'VE SEEN SOME THINGS
BUT I'LL GIVE YOU MY WORD - IT'S BEEN TOUGH - BUT I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING
HE SAID AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - LOVE MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO
AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - GO ANYWHERE I WANNA GO - WANNA GO - WANNA GO
ALL I REALLY NEED IS MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO - THEY GONNA BURY ME WITH MY RA - DIO
IT'S MY MOTHER - MY BROTHER - THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
IT'S MY LOVER - THERE'S NO OTHER - IT'S ALL THAT I NEED
IT'S MY TEACHER - IT'S MY PREACHER - IT'S MY GUIDING LIGHT
IT'S MY DOCTOR - IT'S MY DEALER - IT MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT
HE SAID AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - LOVE MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO
AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - GO ANYWHERE I WANNA GO - WANNA GO - WANNA GO
ALL I REALLY NEED IS MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO - THEY GONNA BURY ME WITH MY RA - DIO
RA - DIO - RA - DIO - RA - DIO / RA - DIO - RA - DIO - RA - DIO - RA - DIO
HE SAID AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - LOVE MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO
AY, AY, AY, AY, AY - GO ANYWHERE I WANNA GO - WANNA GO - WANNA GO
ALL I REALLY NEED IS MY RADIO - RADIO - RADIO - THEY GONNA BURY ME WITH MY RA - DIO
