Everybody's restless and they've 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 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
He will surely take them out on you
In walked the village idiot and his face was all aglow
He'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 listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just come
I heard the General whisper 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 RadioYou were hell of dumb for leaving.
I was hell of dumb for believing you were hell of coming back to me again.
Now I'm hell of sad without you near.
I've hell of had it up to here with how things are now as compared with then.
Hell of dumb, cause you haunt me, hell of dumb,
cause you don't want me, you just want me to get lost it's plain to see,
and I'm hell of dumb for staying
now I'm hell of dumb for saying how much I hell of love you when you hell of don't love me.
I still don't know why I cried for you so much.
Hell of dumb cause I did it hell of dumb
cause I admitted how much I hell of love you when you hell of hate my guts.
And I hate the way I cave in and I hate how I'm behaving.
I hate the foolish thing I have become.
I feel hell of dumb for seeming hell of dumb,
and for screaming hell of dumb, hell of dumb, hell of dumb.
