Time: 3:56 Renewed 1982 Jerry Leiber Music and Mike Stoller Music BMI Based on Riot in Cell Block Number 9 by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller New lyrics by Mike Love 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 SongtexteAmerica 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
