Billy Preston
Street Fighting Man (Live 1973)
[Audience Cheering]
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
Because summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy
But what can a poor boy do except to sing for a Rock and Roll Band
[Chorus]
Because in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man
No!
[Verse 2]
Hey! Think the time is right for a Palace Revolution
But where I live the game to play is Compromise Solution!
Well then what can a poor boy do except to sing for a Rock and Roll Band
[Chorus]
Because in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man
No!
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Verse 3]
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 then what can a poor boy do except to sing for a Rock and Roll Band
[Chorus]
Because in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man
Get down
[Guitar Solo 2]

Au Revoir! Merci!
