C
It's a hot summer night in the blackboard jungle
Crime sits heavy on the city shoulder
F C
Can't get no work, I can't get a job
Ab Bb C
I just sit and play my radio in the parking lot
C
Well they're breaking down doors in foreign countries
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something
F C
There's talk on the street and the nation is worried
Ab Bb C
But you can't talk back when you're dead, when you're dead and
Buried
F
And Everybody's restless
C
Everybody's scared
Am C/E F G
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
C
Everybody's restless
C
Everybody's scared, they think we're all in danger
Everyone's taking cover from someone else's anger
F C
The walls have ears, Big Brother's watching
Ab Bb C
They tell us that we're poisoned from everything that we're
Touching
C
Well we could be children from the way we're acting
We feed ourselves lies and then we scream for action
F
We just breed and we lose our nerve
Ab Bb C
And there's bombs going off in every corner of the world
F
And Everybody's restless
C
Everybody's scared
Am C/E F G
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
C
Everybody's restless
[Instrumental verse]
C F C Ab Bb C
F
And Everybody's restless
C
Everybody's scared
Am C/E F G
Everybody's looking for something that just ain't there
C
Everybody's restless
C F Bb C
Rest-less. Everybody’s restless
