White riot - I wanna riot

White riot - a riot of my own

White riot - I wanna riot

White riot - a riot of my own



Black people gotta lot a problems

But they don't mind throwing a brick

White people go to school

Where they teach you how to be thick



An' everybody's doing

Just what they're told to

An' nobody wants

To go to jail!



All the power's in the hands

Of people rich enough to buy it

While we walk the street

Too chicken to even try it



Everybody's doing

Just what they're told to

Nobody wants

To go to jail!



Are you taking over

or are you taking orders?

Are you going backwards

Or are you going forwards?
