D
Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching,
               A
charging feet, oh,

'Cause summer's here and the time is
right for fighting in the street

Chorus:
E
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
                                             B
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

Chorus:
Well, 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

Chorus:
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man,
