Yeah, yeah, alright
There's been a riot down on main street tonight
They just went crazy
They set this whole damn town alight

Whisky to water
Turn water to wine
Run for your life
Run for your life
There's been a riot

The boy was running he had nowhere left to hide
They cut him down to the ground
Still they didn't find the knife
They say it's murder
Murder in the first degree
They have no suspect, now those hound dogs follow me

Whisky to water
Turn water to wine
Run for your life
Run for your life
There's been a riot
Nowhere to run
There's been a riot
Nowhere to hide

They've got an innocent boy for an innocent crime
They cut him down to the ground when he
Didn't have nowhere to hide
You gotta fight to survive
Run, run, run, run for your life

(Solo)

No way did I commit this crime
No way am I about to die
No way can I forgive myself
For the things I've never done

There's no way you're gonna make me pay
No way I'm coming back today
No way, no way, no way
You're gonna bring me back alive

There's been a riot
They say it's murder
There's been a riot
He's just an innocent boy for an innocent crime
There's been a riot
No where to run, no where to hide
There's been a riot
No way you'll get me
To come back alive
