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 flowBut 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 RadioYou 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 RadioDon'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 RadioEverybody's desperate trying to make ends meet
Work all day, still can't pay
The price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incompleteDon'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 RadioYou'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 Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio
Mohammed's Radio
