â??San Francisco Riotâ? The smoke finally clears up from the sky And the crew's done picking up the debris The police cars drive away in the night Detaining both innocent and guilty It was a protest and things went wrong again A plea for peace that resulted into more enemies There's a lot of fucked-up things in this world And we gotta learn to fix them ourselves But if the masses can't convince?.... Then who will? The message was sent and we all know it was clear enough But if there hadn't been aggression maybe things wouldn't gotten rough Why yell for peace when you're smashing somebody's face? We have to learn to get our senses straight CHORUS: It was supposed to be unity but then some people were shunned It was supposed to be chants and posters but people brought clubs and guns...... It was a riot! Now the paper shows a cover of war SongtexteAnd it displays a grim report Hundreds injured, dozens jailed But it's nothing we haven't seen before Why can't we put down our shields and talk this over face to face? Yet another one of modern society's mistakes Days of preparation gone to waste.... Another television broadcast that'll brings us all disgrace But if we're tbying to build freedom Why is it always walls that we create? The message was sent but it wasn't well received Pepper spray, lead bullets and a night covered with screams Now it's over so what are you thinking? I think it's time we all start forgiving CHORUS (2X) (1-minute solo, fadeaway) Aus Songtexte Mania
