Riot In The Streets

[00:11.91] 2 am, bars were closing
[00:15.07] Heard the news on channel 4 and
[00:18.11] The TV anchor tried to say
[00:20.42] What she thought really happened today
[00:23.64] But, words are dangerous like the gun
[00:26.64] Takes away a mother's son
[00:29.51] A lot of people have had enough
[00:32.85] Just waiting for this time to come
[00:36.18] Ohhh, gonna be a riot
[00:39.53] Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[00:43.86] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[00:46.75] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[00:50.29] Gonna be a riot tonight
[00:52.72] Right or wrong, battle lines are drawn
[01:04.16] Like the difference tween dusk and dawn
[01:07.48] Black and white in the light of day
[01:10.76] But at night there's only shades-of-grey
[01:13.86] Preacher speakin', fist raised singin'
[01:16.71] Barely missin', tear gas whistlin'
[01:19.97] Walking down West Florissant Road
[01:23.13] It feels like this city is gonna explode
[01:25.90] Ohhh, gonna be a riot
[01:29.47] Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[01:33.85] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[01:37.52] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[01:40.90] Gonna be a riot tonight
[01:43.25] Painted signs, a megaphone message
[02:19.91] You can feel it St. Louis to Los Angeles
[02:22.67] These words written on a door:
[02:25.71] It ain't just about the rich and poor
[02:28.87] Our past won't go away
[02:31.68] It haunts us to present day
[02:35.09] There's so much left to learn
[02:38.77] As the bullets fly and the buildings burn
[02:41.60] Ohhh, gonna be a riot
[02:45.13] Ohhh, gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[02:49.21] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[02:52.11] Gonna be a riot in the streets tonight
[02:56.08] Gonna be a riot tonight
[03:35.50]
