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

[Chorus]
But 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]
You know, the sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walks the village idiot and his face is all aglow
He's 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
Work all day, 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 listening for his drum (Up all night)
Hoping that the righteous might just, might just, might just come (Just ain't right)
I heard the general whispering 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
