5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Midnight At The Liberty lyrics

rate me

(tom meltzer)<br><br>Midnight at the liberty<br>Jimi's playing berkeley<br>But he's playing much too quiet<br>Hope that it don't start a riot<br>I guess that's why the cops are here<br>Looks like they're decked out in riot gear<br>There ought to be a better way<br>For folks to make a buck<br><br>And we'd complain but we're too stoned<br>And if we leave we've got to go back home<br>Our parents might not be asleep<br>So we're staying at the liberty<br><br>Some stupid kid had no fear<br>He lit a joint somewhere toward the rear<br>A cop threw him to the ground<br>We were afraid to turn around<br>The kid, he started getting mad<br>He said the mayor was his dad<br>If the movie had been loud enough<br>We wouldn't have heard nothing at all<br><br>Chorus<br><br>The kid must have been no one<br>Or the mayor didn't like his son<br>Cause the cops treated him pretty mean<br>From the theater we could hear him screaming<br>What strikes me most in retrospect<br>Is nothing happened that I didn't expect<br>I hear that movie isn't very good<br>But I guess I'll never know<br><br>Chorus
