CHORUS:

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 dont mind throwin a brick

white people go to school

where they teach you how to be real thick

and everybody's doin

just what theyre told to

an nobody wants

to go to jail



CHORUS



all the power's in the hands

of the people rich enough to buy it

while we walk the streets

too chicken to even try it

an everybody's doin

just what theyre told to

and nobody wants

to go to jail



CHORUS



are ya takin over

or are ya takin orders?

are you goin backwards,

or are you goin forwards?



CHORUS
