"Mohammed's Radio" lyrics

Mohammed's Radio

Everybody's restless
And they got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long?
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

You know the sheriff's
Got his problems too
And he will surely take them out
On me and you
In walks the village idiot
And her face is all aglow
Because she's been up all night
Listening to Mohammed's radio

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long?
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

Everybody's desperate
Trying 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 want to rock and roll
All night long?
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

You've been up all night
Just listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might
Just might, just might
Just might just come
I heard the general whispering
To his aide de camp
Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long?
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio
Mohammed's radio
