Elton John - Restless lyrics
[Elton John - Restless lyrics]
It's a hot summer night
In the blackboard jungle
Crime sit's heavy on the city shoulder
Can't get no work, I can't get a job
I just sit and play my
Radio in the parking lot
Well they're breaking down doors
In foreign countries
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something
There's talk on the street and
The nation is worried
But you can't talk back when you're dead
When you're dead and buried
And Everybody's restless everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that
Just ain't there everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
They think we're all in danger
Everyone's taking cover from
Someone else's anger
The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching
They tell us that we're poisoned
From everything that we're touching
Well we could be children from
The way we're acting
We feed ourselves lies and then
We scream for action
We just breed and we lose our nerve
And there's bombs going off in
Every corner of the world
And Everybody's restless everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that
Just ain't there everybody's restless
In the blackboard jungle
Crime sit's heavy on the city shoulder
Can't get no work, I can't get a job
I just sit and play my
Radio in the parking lot
Well they're breaking down doors
In foreign countries
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something
There's talk on the street and
The nation is worried
But you can't talk back when you're dead
When you're dead and buried
And Everybody's restless everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that
Just ain't there everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
They think we're all in danger
Everyone's taking cover from
Someone else's anger
The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching
They tell us that we're poisoned
From everything that we're touching
Well we could be children from
The way we're acting
We feed ourselves lies and then
We scream for action
We just breed and we lose our nerve
And there's bombs going off in
Every corner of the world
And Everybody's restless everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that
Just ain't there everybody's restless
