"Riot" lyrics

Rioting, the unbeatable high
Adrenaline 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 people's ass

But you get to the place
Where the real slave drivers 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 neighborhood
Burning to the ground instead

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right 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

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast

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

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast

Riot, the unbeatable high
Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot, playing right into their hands
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast

Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
Tomorrow, you're homeless
Tonight, it's a blast
