White Riot Lyrics


White riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my own
White riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my ownBlack man gotta lot a 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
An' nobody wants
To go to jailWhite riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my own
White riot I wanna 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 itEverybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants

To go to jailWhite riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my own
White riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my ownAre you takin' over
Or are you takin' orders?
Are you goin' backwards
Or are you goin' forwards?White riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my own
White riot I wanna riot
White riot a riot of my own

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sham 69 formed in Hersham, Surrey in 1976 (the 12 November issue of NME notes they were rehearsing at this time, although only Jimmy Pursey would remain from this early line-up 12 months later). Sham 69 lacked the art school background of many British punk bands of the time, and brought in football chant back-up vocals and a sort of inarticulate political populism. The band had a large skinhead following (left wing, right wing and non-political), which helped set the tone for the Oi! movement.
