I saw a man get the beat down
Took his money and his wallet left him dead on the ground
I saw them gather celebrate the crime
Teaching us the laughter another lesson of mankind
I raise my hand, I've got another question:
"If I start a riot, will I get protection? 'Cause I'm the kid who's got a lot of problems and if I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them"

Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot

I'm boiling up the city's on heat
Red alert tension you know it's on the street
Code blue city of the dead
Sirens in the night with the lights b_____ red
See how we do this (hell yeah) see how we ride
Throw a brick light the fuse dodge a bullet duck inside
It's a statistic hammered on my brain
Branded with a number another p___ in the game

Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
In front of me the misery
Crying in line and dying burning debris
My face is burning... burnin' so quick
Burning like a candle at the end of its wick
Well, I turn the dial, I turn the channel
I turn into a monster fighting the eternal battle
I need some help and, there is no doubt
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody else

Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Oh.... yeah.... I wanna riot
Riot!
