Linda Ronstadt - Mohammed's Radio lyrics

rate me

written by Warren Zevon

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
