5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Midnight At The Liberty lyrics

Midnight at the Liberty

Jimi's playing Berkeley

But he's playing much too quiet

Hope that it don't start a riot

I guess that's why the cops are here

Looks like they're decked out in riot gear

There ought to be a better way

For folks to make a buck

And we'd complain but we're too stoned

And if we leave we've got to go back home

Our parents might not be asleep

So we're staying at the Liberty

Some stupid kid had no fear

He lit a joint somewhere toward the rear

A cop threw him to the ground

We were afraid to turn around

The kid, he started getting mad

He said the mayor was his dad

If the movie had been loud enough

We wouldn't have heard nothing at all

The kid must have been no one

Or the mayor didn't lkie his son

Cause the cops treated him pretty mean

From the theater we could hear him screaming

What strikes me most in retrospect

Is nothing happened that I didn't expect

I hear that movie isn't very good

But I guess I'll never know

The kid must have been no one

Or the mayor didn't lkie his son

Cause the cops treated him pretty mean

From the theater we could hear him screaming

What strikes me most in retrospect

Is nothing happened that I didn't expect

I hear that movie isn't very good

But I guess I'll never know
