Inner City life Is getting me down Poliece and gang wars All over town Closing down our clubs For no good reason Hassle us on the street Take away our freedoms Oh oh we want a riot Oh oh so sick and tired Here come the riot squad They're closing in Guns and riot shields And gas grenades They see us standing there All in a line Black and white unite Confrontations high Oh oh we want a riot Oh oh were sick and tired Oh oh leave us alone They have a justice bill That's what they say Now They have the power now To put us away There were four of us Minding our own We're a riotous assembly Walking down the road Oh oh we want a riot Oh oh so sick and tired Oh oh we wanna riot Oh oh leave us alone!
