Lyrics

It's a hot summer night in the blackboard jungle
Crime sitting 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
Oh and everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
Everybody's restless
We could be tame, tame with drinking
We did ourselves lies and then we scream for action
We just breed, yeah and we lose our nerve
And there's bombs going off in every corner of the world
Oh and everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
Everybody's restless
Everybody's restless
And everybody's restless
Everybody's scared
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
Everybody's restless
Everybody's restless
Oh restless
Everybody's restless
Restless
Everybody's restless
Oh restless
Everybody's restless
Oh restless
Everybody's restless
Oh restless
Restless
Everybody's just restless here
