White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

Black men got a lot of problems

But they don't mind throwin' a brick

White people go to school

Where they teach you how to be real thick

And everybody's doin

Just what they're told to

An nobody wants

To go to jail

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

All the power in the hands

Of the people rich enough to buy it

While we walk the streets

Too chicken to even try it

And everybody's doin'

Just what they're told to

And nobody wants

To go to jail

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

Hey, you, standing in line

Are we gonna sign an agreement?

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own

White riot

I wanna riot

White riot

A riot of my own
