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 |
