Warren Zevon - Mohammed's Radio lyrics

Everybody's restless, they got no place to go

Someone's always trying to tell them

Something they already know

So their anger and resentment flow

But don't it make you wanna rock n' 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 you

In walks the village idiot, and his face is all aglow

He's been up all night listening to Mohammed's radio

But don't it make you wanna rock n' 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

They work all day, and still can't pay

The price of gasoline and meat

Alas. their lives are incomplete

But don't it make you wanna rock n' 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 listening for his drum

Hoping that the righteous might just, might just come

But I heard the General whispering to his aide-de-camp

"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp!"

But don't it make you wanna rock n' roll all night long?

Mohammed's radio

I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful

On the radio, Mohammed's radio

Mohammed's radio
