Verse Riff

D
April 26,1992 there was a riot on 
the
steets tell me where were you.
A
You were sittin' home watchin' your 
t.v.,
well I was participating in some 
anarchy.
D
First spot we hit it was my liquor 
store
I finally got all the alcohol I 
can't afford
A
With red light's flashin' it was 
time to retire,
and then we turned that liquor store
 into a structure fire
D
Next stop we hit was the music shop,
it only took one brick to make that 
window drop
A
Finally we got our own p.a.,
where do you think I got this guitar
 that your hearing today.


Bridge riff (w/background vocals)

Verse Riff

D
When we returned to the pad to 
unload everything
it dawned on me that I need new home
 furnishing
A
So once again we filled the van 
until it was full,
since that day my livin' room's been
 much more comfortable
D
Cause everybody in the hood has had 
it up to here
It's getting harder and harder and 
harder each and every year
A
Some kids went in a store with their
 mother
I saw when she came out she was 
gettin' some pampers'
D
They said it was for the black man, 
they said it was for the mexican,
but not for the white man
A
But if you look at the streets it 
wasn't about Rodney King
It's this fucked up situation and 
the fuckin' police
D
It's about coming up and staying
on top and screamin 187 on a 
motherfuckin' cop
A
It's not on the papers, it's on the 
wall
National guard smoke from all around


Bridge (with background police beat)

Riff 2 with Bridge ending.

Verse Riff

Let it burn, want to let it burn...

Riots on the streets of Miami, 
Chicago, Long Beach, San Francisco, 
Kansas City...
