Street Fighting ManThe Rolling Stones

Songwriter: Keith Richards Mick Jagger

Producer: Jimmy Miller

[Verse 1]
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
Well, what can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock and roll band?

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
'Cause 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]
'Cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for street fighting man, no

Get down

[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, no
Get down

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
