White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my ownBlack man gotta lotta problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thickAn' everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jailWhite riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my ownAll the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try itAnd everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jailWhite riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my ownHey, you, standing in line
Are we gonna sign an agreement?White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
