Song | Restless |
Artist | Elton John |
Album | Breaking Hearts |
Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John | |
It's a hot summer night in the blackboard jungle | |
Crime sits heavy on the city shoulder | |
Can't get no work, I can't get a job | |
I just sit and play my radio in the parking lot | |
Well they're breaking down doors in foreign countries | |
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something | |
There's talk on the street and the nation is worried | |
But you can't talk back when you're dead, when you're dead and | |
buried | |
And Everybody's restless | |
Everybody's scared | |
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there | |
Everybody's restless | |
Everybody's scared, they think we're all in danger | |
Everyone's taking cover from someone else's anger | |
The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching | |
They tell us that we're poisoned from everything that we're | |
touching | |
Well we could be children from the way we're acting | |
We feed ourselves lies and then we scream for action | |
We just breed and we lose our nerve | |
And there's bombs going off in every corner of the world |
