- Street Fighting Man LyricsEv'rywhere 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 n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
I said hey and 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 n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man, no
I said, “Hey and my name
Is called Disturbance”
I'll shout and scream
I'll kill the king, I'll rail all his servants
Well, 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, I know, no
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 n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
I said hey and 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
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's no place for a street fighting man, no
I said, “Hey and my name
Is called Disturbance”
I'll shout and scream
I'll kill the king, I'll rail all his servants
Well, 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, I know, no

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Rolling Stones' 'Street Fighting Man' is a musical description of the frustration and impotence of a soul in a society where peaceful protest is taken as useless. The lyrics point to a 'street fighting man' as a metaphor for the change and revolt movement against the existing order, thus underlining the fight between the individual's opinion and the repressive system. Street fighting man lyrics are predominantly characterized by social commentary, anger, angst, despair, and at the same time, empowerment. The song, however, at the same time highlights the role of social unrest and revolution, and the positions of powerlessness and compromise. The lyrics are filled with conflict and rebellion themes, which could be considered inappropriate for younger children to listen to without parental supervision. Even though there is no foul language nor graphic content, the allusions to fighting and revolution indicate a level of maturity that deserves to be considered for parental discretion.
