They're rioting in my front yard |
|
They're sending in the national guard |
|
People lootin, people shootin, baby i ain't just tootin my horn |
|
They're rioting in my front yard |
|
They're grabbing all the beer and diapers |
|
And don't forget the windshield wipers |
|
Fifty pairs, who cares? man we'll sell' em at the fair |
|
And yeah they're rioting in my front yard |
|
They're burning manny, moe, and jack |
|
The pep boys got a broken back |
|
They're stealin' clothes and breaking toes |
|
Hey, did you see that broken nose? |
|
And man, they're rioting in my front yard |
|
The news you can't miss, no |
|
It looks like a hit show |
|
The choppers are taking to the air |
|
The walls are coming down |
|
And yeah they're burning up this town |
|
At least the ratings will be up this year (burn baby, burn) |
|
Now rodney king may not have been a saint |
|
But what they did to him could make you faint |
|
We hear the whip, we hear the crack, and just because his skin was black |
|
Now they're rioting in my front yard |
|
Now a man ain't got a reason to smile |
|
If he gets a beating without a trial |
|
Hey wouldn't you be pissed they said gorillas in the mist |
|
And now they're rioting in my front yard |
|
Half these people haven't got a clue |
|
They're stealing clothes and saying, "rodney who?" |
|
They've got it all wrong, it seems we'll never get along |
|
And now they're rioting in my front yard |
|
Well man, they're rioting in my front yard |
|
Oh yeah, they're rioting in my front yard |
