"White Riot"
[Originally by The Clash]

[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 man got a lotta problems
But they don't mind throwin' a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be real thick

[Bridge:]
Everybody's doin'
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail!

[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

All the power's in the hands
Of the people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it

[Bridge:]
Everybody's doin'
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail!

[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

Are ya' takin' over
Or are ya' takin' orders?
Are ya' goin' backwards
Or are ya' goin' forwards?

[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
