Mohammed’s Radio (Live, 1980)

[Verse 1]
Everybody's restless and they got no place to go
And someone's always tryin' to tell them something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow

[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio

[Verse 2]
Ayatollah's got his problems too (What if I cry, baby?)
And even Jimmy Carter's got the highway blues (Turnin' at you)
I went to see the Governor 'cause I thought that he would know
You see I knew him, been up all night listening to Mohammed's radio

[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio

[Bridge]
Everybody's desperate, tryin' to make ends meet
They work all day, they still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete

[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio

[Verse 3]
You've been up all night listenin' for his drum (Up all night)
Hoping that the righteous might just, might just, might just come (Just ain't right)
But I heard the general whisperin' to his aide de camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"

[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna rock and roll?
All night long, Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singin' sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's radio
Mohammed's radio

[Outro]
Thank you
