Riot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a burning sky overhead
Kids on the street are seeing red
They're gonna set the city alight
All this boredom makes ém wanna fight
Riot riot on the street tonight
Riot riot gonna do it right
Riot riot gonna scream and shout
Riot riot that's what life's about
Who's to blame the rich or the poor
Fight the enemy fight the law
We'll stick together, we'll see it through
We're gonna riot, me and you
Street's can burn, governments too
We're gonna riot we're gonna see it through
We're gonna smash your thin blue line
We're doing ok, we're doing fine
