Riot - Live at the Paradiso

Lyrics

Rioting, the unbeatable high
 Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
 Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
 And it's all
 Gonna blow right now
 Now you can smash all the windows that you want
 All you really need are some friends and a rock
 Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
 Smash more glass
 Scream with a laugh
 And wallow with the crowds, watch them kicking peoples' ass
 But you get to the place
 Where the real slave-drivers live
 It's walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your head
 So you turn right around
 And play right into their hands
 And set your own neighborhood
 Burning to the ground instead
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Riot, the unbeatable high
 Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
 Riot, playing right into their hands
 Tomorrow you're homeless, tonight it's a blast
 Get your kicks in quick
 They're callin' the National Guard
 Now could be your only chance to torch a police car
 Climb the roof, kick the siren in and jump and yelp for joy
 Quickly, dive back in the crowd, slip away, now don't get caught
 Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store, grab as much as you can hold
 Pray your full arms don't fall off, here comes the owner with a gun
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Riot, the unbeatable high
 Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
 Riot, playing right into their hands
 Tomorrow you're homeless, tonight it's a blast
 Shit!
 The barricades spring up from nowhere
 Cops in helmets line the lines
 Shotguns prod into your bellies
 The trigger fingers want an excuse
 Now!
 The raging mob has lost its nerve
 There's more of us but who goes first?
 No one dares to cross the line
 The cops know that they've won
 It's all over but not quite, the pigs have just begun to fight
 They club your heads, kick your teeth
 Police can riot all that they please
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha
 Ah, ha-ha, yeah!
 Riot, the unbeatable high
 Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
 Riot, playing right into their hands
 Tomorrow you're homeless, tonight it's a blast
 Riot, the unbeatable high
 Riot, shoots your nerves to the sky
 Riot, playing right into their hands
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
 Tomorrow you're homeless
 Tonight it's a blast
