Midnight at the liberty
Jimis playing berkeley
But hes playing much too quiet
Hope that it dont start a riot
I guess thats why the cops are here
Looks like theyre decked out in riot gear
There ought to be a better way
For folks to make a buck
And wed complain but were too stoned
And if we leave weve got to go back home
Our parents might not be asleep
So were 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 wouldnt have heard nothing at all
Chorus
The kid must have been no one
Or the mayor didnt 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 didnt expect
I hear that movie isnt very good
But I guess Ill never know
Chorus
