Kennedys Dead Riot Lyrics

Riot Lyrics

Rioting - the unbeatable high

         Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky

         Everyone knows this town is gonna blow

         And it's all gonna blow right now...



         Now you can smash all the windows that you want

         All you need are some friends and a rock

         Throwing a brick never felt so damn good

         Smash some more glass

         Scream with a laugh

         And wallow with the crowd

         Watch them kicking peoples' ass



         But you get to the place

         Where the real slavedrivers live

         It's walled off by the riot squad

         Aiming guns right at your head

         So you turn right around

         And play right into their hands

         And set your own neighbourhood

         Burning to the ground instead



         (chorus)

         Riot - the unbeatable high

         Riot - shoots your nerves to the sky

         Riot - playing into their hands

         Tomorrow you're homeless

         Tonight it's a blast



         Get your kicks in quick

         They're callin' the National Guard

         Now could be your only chance

         To torch a police car



         Climb the roof, kick the siren in

         And jump and yelp for joy

         Quickly - dive back in the crowd

         Slip away, now don't get caught



         Let's loot the spiffy Hi-Fi Store

         Grab as much as you can hold

         Pray your arms won't fall off

         Here comes the owner with a gun



         (chorus)



         The barricades spring up from nowhere

         Cops in helmets line the lines

         Shotguns prod into your bellies

         The trigger fingers want an excuse

         now



         The raging mob has lost its nerve

         There's more of us but who goes first

         No one dares to cross the line

         The cops know that they've won



         It's all over but not quite

         The pigs have just begun to fight

         They club your heads, kick your teeth

         Police can riot all they please



         (chorus)



         Tomorrow you're homeless

         Tonight it's a blast
