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' ass
|
|
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
|
