Riotriot

I have a secret to tell you
About the night I met you
You had come to put handcuffs on my brother
Down in the alleyway
I dreamt of making love to you
Up on the rooftop, looking up at the sky
Right before it happens
There's no sign at all
One minute blue skies
Then the rain begins to fall
Pop go the windows
Pop go the windows
So we can see you more clearly
Pop go the windows
So you can hear us
Through the night
Get real hot, blow your top
Get real hot, blow your top
Hiding in the alleyway
Get real hot, blow your top
They are writing and looking and they're knocking at your door
Who are you for
Who are you
Put your hand upon my heart, feel the beating of the wall
Who are you for
Who are you for
If you do nothing, you still do something
Do you see it
Do you see it
If you do nothing, you still do something
Do you feel me
Do you feel me
There is a freedom in violence that I don't understand
And like I've never felt before
Why did you come here
Why did you come here
Why did you come here
To our neighborhood
