Lyrics
Street Fighting Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy
Then 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
Hey, think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Then 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
Hey, 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!
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy
Then 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!
