White Riot
Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, a riot of my own
Black people gotta lot a problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick
And everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants to go to jail
All the power's in the hands of people
Rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street too
Chicken to even try it
Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants to go to jail
Are you taking over
Or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards
Or are you going forwards?
