Radio Paradise (mobile)

written by Warren Zevon 1976 Zevon Music BMI
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 Radio

Cynaera Aug 07, 2010 - 17:21	I love this song. When are we going to hear "Bo Diddley Was A Gunslinger"? Or "Accidentally Like A Martyr"? Yep, Zevon was a man ahead of his (too-short) time... His son Jordan has some good music out there, too. I love "The Joke's On Me." [ Reply ]

Why do I have the feeling the Musselman contingent isn't too happy with this song? there's the difference between an "extremist" and a "moderate". The "extremist" is the one with the death threat. The "moderate" is the one who explains what you've done to deserve it. [ Reply ]

Pyro Jul 24, 2009 - 15:24	RIP, Warren. I am enjoying every sandwich. " Everybody's desperate trying to make ends meet work all day, still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat" not much has changed, eh? [ Reply ]
