FM Tokyo, rotten radio
FM Tokyo, the worst radio
They ban whatever they like
FM Tokyo, filthy radio
FM Tokyo, a tool for politicians
They ban whatever they like
FM Tokyo, stupid radio
FM Tokyo, stop acting slyly
Bunch of pussies, FM Tokyo!
FM Tokyo, rotten bastards
FM Tokyo, radio that makes you sick
They ban whatever they like
FM Tokyo, filthy radio
FM Tokyo, a tool for politicians
Bunch of pussies, FM Tokyo!
-- Stupid bastards, what did you do to that song? FM Sendai! --
Bunch of pussies, FM Tokyo!

This protest song doesn't appear on any albums as far as I know.
The story behind it goes something like this: The band, The Timers, appeared at Budokan and sang their song "Beloved North Korea/あこがれの北朝鮮" and uptight Tokyo FM cut the live broadcast so as not to show it because it considered it offensive. So when The Timers later got a live TV performance they said they'd sing their song "Hypocrites/偽善者", which shows up on the screen in the YouTube clip below, but instead let rip with this pretty foul-mouthed song to blast Tokyo FM publicly. It was just the kind of stunt that kept Kiyoshiro off the TV quite a bit. This YouTube clip must have been a repeat because at the very end a message shows up reading: "Both sides have resolved the issue and are now on good terms!!" Hmmm, rather doubt that, but there you go.
Here's the recording on YouTube
