DEAD KENNEDYS lyrics : "Riot"

Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow

And it's all gonna blow right now:.

Now you can smash all the windows that you want

All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass

Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples' $$#


But you get to the place
Where the real slavedrivers live

It's walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around

And play right into their hands
And set your own neighbourhood
Burning to the ground instead


[Chorus]
Riot-the unbeatable high

Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you're homeless

Tonight it's a blast

Get your kicks in quick

They're callin' the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car


Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy

Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don't get caught


Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don't fall off

Here comes the owner with a gun

[Chorus]


The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines

Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now


The raging mob has lost its nerve
There's more of us but who goes first

No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they've won


It's all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth

Police can riot all that they please

[Chorus]


Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
