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
