Restless

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album breaking hearts

Its a hot summer night in the blackboard jungle
Crime sits heavy on the city shoulder
Cant get no work, I cant get a job
I just sit and play my radio in the parking lot

Well theyre breaking down doors in foreign countries
Everybody thinks somebodys hiding something
Theres talk on the street and the nation is worried
But you cant talk back when youre dead, when youre dead and
Buried

And everybodys restless
Everybodys scared
Everybodys looking for something that just aint there
Everybodys restless

Everybodys scared, they think were all in danger
Everyones taking cover from someone elses anger
The walls have ears, big brothers watching
They tell us that were poisoned from everything that were
Touching

Well we could be children from the way were acting
We feed ourselves lies and then we scream for action
We just breed and we lose our nerve
And theres bombs going off in every corner of the world
