Scream and shout about unemployment
Shout about being kept down
And then you turn right around

And burn our cities to the ground

(Chorus)

No no no that's not the way
Burning down the cities of the USA


You try to pawn off people's rebellion
You like to say you're fighting back
But then you express your pride and anger

In the form of a racial attack

(Chorus)


Smashing up windows and burning up cars
It didn't quite get you very far

Your city looks like a burning hell
And now you're sitting in a prison cell
