1. Riot (6:21)
Yeah yeah yeah
Alright
There's been a riot down on main street tonight
They just went crazy they set this whole damn town alight
Whiskey to water and water to wine
Run for your life, run for your life
There's been a riot
The boy was running he had nowhere left to hide
They cut him down to the ground still they didn't find the knife
They say it's murder -- murder in the first degree, yeah
They have no suspect, now those hound dogs follow me
Whiskey to water -- and water to wine
Run for your life run for you life
There's been a riot -- Nowhere to run
There's been a riot -- Nowhere to hide
They've got an innocent boy for an innocent crime
They cut him down to the ground when he didn't have mowhere to hide
You gotta fight to survive -- run for, run for your life
Now way (no way) did I commit this crime
Now way am I about to die
Now way (no way) can I forgive myself
For the things I've never done
There's no way (no way) you're gonna make me pay
No way (no way) I'm coming back today
No way, no way, no way you're gonna bring me back alive
There's been a riot -- Yeah, come on, they say it's murder
There's been a riot -- Just an innocent boy for an innocent crime
There's been a riot -- Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
There's been a riot -- No way you'll get me to come back alive
Alright
