John Elton - Restless-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

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
