Mohammed Lyrics

Again and again
I get up and say, I only want to get it right

I only want to do the right thing
But all these demons harass my soul

I won't be today, I'm alone again
No one can make that alive
No one can say they're better not when
All this freedom you get is a lie

Again and again

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Featuring a prominent middle-eastern sounding riff, the second track off Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia features some pretty sparse, abstract lyrics that appear to deal with drug addiction.

The song features Vince DiFiore from the band Cake on trumpet.

What did The Dandy Warhols say about "Mohammed"?
Genius Answer

[“Mohammed” is] about getting dumped by somebody I was dating. Being real sad and depressed. Then self loathing and self analyzing about it while sitting in the basement. These little chord changes and guitar things have been my therapy all of my life.
