Warren Zevon - Mohammed's Radio lyrics
[Warren Zevon - Mohammed's Radio lyrics]
Everybody's restless and they got
No place to go
Someone's always tryin' to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow
But don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
You know, the sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walks the village idiot and
His face is all aglow he's been up all night
Listening to Mohammed's radio
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
Everybody's desperate
Tryin' to make ends meet work all day
Still can't pay the price
Of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
You've been up all night
Listening for his drum (Up all night)
Hoping that the righteous might
Just, might just, might just come
(Just ain't right)
I heard the general whispering to
His aide de camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
Mohammed's radio
No place to go
Someone's always tryin' to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow
But don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
You know, the sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walks the village idiot and
His face is all aglow he's been up all night
Listening to Mohammed's radio
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
Everybody's desperate
Tryin' to make ends meet work all day
Still can't pay the price
Of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
You've been up all night
Listening for his drum (Up all night)
Hoping that the righteous might
Just, might just, might just come
(Just ain't right)
I heard the general whispering to
His aide de camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
