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


An' everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
An' 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?
