R-I-O-T

R-I-O-T

     Fight the oppressors
     Freedom obsessors
     Freed prisoners from the pen
     Have now come to this once beautiful glen
     Show what you were born to do
     Righteous murderers, that’s you

     Keep the peace
     Hounds on a leash
     Hold the French quarter
     Wait for the order
     Moving to protect the state
     Hoping that you won’t be late

     Complete public disobeyal
     Over a small thing so frail
     Plot the points
     Break some joints
     Send in the military
     Government loves to be arbitrary

     The news crews picked it up
     In the battle zone they constantly duck
     Plumes of smoke from molten lead
     Striking dirt and men in the head
     Snipers call out from the roof above
     This town will never need a dove

     See those Honda civics burning
     The audience truly must be churning
     Gangs running free in the streets
     Breaking windows, stealing jeeps
     You don’t have to be here to spy it
     All people hail the riot.
