Rancid

Rancid - I Wanna Riot lyrics

I just though I'd put some more correct lyrics than the ones that are already posted here...

[verse]

I saw a man get the beatdown

Took his money and his wallet, left him dead on the ground

I saw them gather to celebrate the crime

Teaching us a lesson, yeah a lesson in mankind

I raise my hand, I got another question

If I start a riot, will I get protection?

{they say different things next line, depending on what version of the song}

Cuz I'm (a kid who's got a lot of problems) [the kid who always got a problem]

If I throw a brick maybe the brick is gonna solve them

[chorus]

Oh! Yeah! I wanna riot!

[verse]

I'm burning up, the city's on heat

A fatal level of tension, 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

Another statistic hammered on my brain

Branded with another pawn in the game

[verse]

In front of me, they backed away

Coming in a line ?????????????????

My place is burning, burning so quick

Burning like a candle at the end of it's wick

Well, I turned the dial, I turned the channel

I turned it to a monster fighting the eternal battle

I need some help, yeah, there's no doubt

If I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna take somebody out
