Student Demonstration Time |
| Starting out with Berkeley Free Speech |
| And later on at People’s Park |
| The winds of change fanned into flames |
| Student demonstrations spark |
| Down to Isla Vista where police felt so harassed |
| They called the special riot squad of the L. A. County Sheriff |
| Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Student demonstration time |
| The violence spread down South to where Jackson State brothers |
| Learned not to say nasty things about Southern policemen’s mothers |
| Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done |
| The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun |
| Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Well there’s a riot going on |
| 'Cause it’s student demonstration time |
| America was stunned on May 4, 1970 |
| When rally turned to riot up at Kent State University |
| They said the students scared the Guard |
| Though the troops were battle dressed |
| Four martyrs earned a new degree |
| The badge of eternal rest |
| I know we’re all fed up with useless wars and racial strife |
| But next time there’s a riot, well, you best stay out of sight |
| Well there’s a riot going on There’s a riot going on Well there’s a riot going on Student demonstration time |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on It’s student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on It’s student demonstration |
| Stay away when there’s a riot going on Student demonstration |
