Mohammed's Radio

(album: Shooter Jennings And The Werewolves Of Los Angeles Do Zevon - 2023)

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 wanna 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 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 wanna rock and roll?
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

Everybody is desperate, trying to make ends meet
You work all day, you still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete

Don't it make you wanna 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 (Up all night)
Hoping that the righteous just might just might just might just come (Just ain't right)
I heard the general whisper to his aide-de-camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"

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