Paul Simonon - 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 own Black man got a lotta problems But they don't mind throwin' a brick White people go to school Where they teach you how to be real thick Everybody's doin' Just what they're told to And nobody wants To go to jail! (Chorus) All the power's in the hands Of the people rich enough to buy it While we walk the street Too chicken to even try it (Bridge) (Chorus) Are you takin' over Or are you takin' orders? Are you goin' backwards Or are you goin' forwards? (Chorus)
