Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause the summer's here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town, there's just no place
For a street fighting man, no
[Verse 2]
Said, the time is right for a palace revolution
'Cause where I live, the game to play is compromise solution
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town, there's just no place
For a street fighting man, no
[Verse 3]
Ay, said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town, there's just no place
For a street fighting man, no
[Verse 4]
No, get down, boy, oh
