written by Warren Zevon © Zevon Music (BMI) 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
