Rancid – I Wanna Riot lyrics

I saw a man get the beat down
Took his money and his wallet, left him dead on the ground
I saw them gather, celebrate the crime
Teaching us the laughter, another lesson of mankind
I raised my hand, I got another question
If I start to riot, will I get protection
'Cause I'm a kid who's got a lot of problems
If i throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot

I'm boiling up, the city's on heat
Red alert tention, you know it's on the street
Code blue, the city of the dead
Sirens in the night with the lights bloody red
See how we do this, see how we ride
Throw a brick, light the fuse, dodge a bullet, duck inside
A statistic hammered on my brain
Branded with another nother pawn in the game

Oh, yeah I wanna riot
Oh, yeah I wanna riot

In front of me, perpetuated
Crying in line, I got a burning to be
My face is burning, burning so quick
Burning like a candle at the end of its wick
Well, I turn the dial, I turn the channel
I turn it to a monster fighting the eternal battle
I need some help man, there is no doubt
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody out

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot

Riot
Riot
Riot
Riot
Riot
