| 2 am, bars were closing
|
| Heard the news on channel 4 and
|
| The TV anchor tried to say
|
| What she thought really happened today
|
| But, words are dangerous like the gun
|
| Takes away a mother’s son
|
| A lot of people have had enough
|
| Just waiting for this time to come
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot tonight
|
| Right or wrong, battle lines are drawn
|
| Like the difference tween dusk and dawn
|
| Black and white in the light of day
|
| But at night there’s only shades-of-grey
|
| Preacher speakin', fist raised singin'
|
| Barely missin', tear gas whistlin'
|
| Walking down West Florissant Road
|
| It feels like this city is gonna explode
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot tonight
|
| Painted signs, a megaphone message
|
| You can feel it St. Louis to Los Angeles
|
| These words written on a door:
|
| It ain’t just about the rich and poor
|
| Our past won’t go away
|
| It haunts us to present day
|
| There’s so much left to learn
|
| As the bullets fly and the buildings burn
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot
|
| Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
|
| Gonna be a riot tonight |
