5 Chinese Brothers - Midnight At The Liberty lyrics

(tom meltzer) Midnight at the liberty Jimi's playing berkeley But he's playing much too quiet Hope that it don't start a riot I guess that's why the cops are here Looks like they're decked out in riot gear There ought to be a better way For folks to make a buck And we'd complain but we're too stoned And if we leave we've got to go back home Our parents might not be asleep So we're staying at the liberty Some stupid kid had no fear He lit a joint somewhere toward the rear A cop threw him to the ground We were afraid to turn around The kid, he started getting mad He said the mayor was his dad If the movie had been loud enough We wouldn't have heard nothing at all Chorus The kid must have been no one Or the mayor didn't like his son Cause the cops treated him pretty mean From the theater we could hear him screaming What strikes me most in retrospect Is nothing happened that i didn't expect I hear that movie isn't very good But i guess i'll never know Chorus
