There's blood on the street
And the smell is so sweet
Cause another blue bastard has gone down
See the boots swarming round his head
They're gonna see him dead
Nightstick in his hand
He tried to rule this land
But that's no way to make a country great
It takes more, more than force
You've got to give it a voice
So it's goodnight to one more facist clown
We've got a riot
You can't keep us quiet
We've got a riot, we've got a riot
This is our answer to your law
Don't shed no tears for him
His life was lived in sin
No one has the right to order you
Don't be told what life is about
Brixton- riot riot
Toxteth- riot riot
Bristol- riot riot
Moss side- riot riot
England- riot riot
England- riot riot riot riot riot...
