[Based on "Riot in Cell Block Number 9" by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller]
|
|
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 Bachelor of Bullets
|
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
