Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright

There's been a riot
Down on Main Street tonight
They just went crazy
They set this whole damn town alight

Whiskey to water
And water to wine
Run for your life
Run for your life

There's been a riot

The boy was runnin'
He had nowhere left to hide
They caught him down to the ground
Still they never found the knife

They say, "It's murder
It's murder in the first degree", yeah
They've got no suspects
Now those hound dogs follow me

Whiskey to water
And 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 caught him down to the ground
When he didn't have nowhere to hide
You've got to fight to survive

Run, run, run
Run for your life

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 comin' back today
No way, no way, no way
You're gonna bring me back alive

There's been a riot
No, 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
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
There's been a riot
No way you're getting me
To come back alive
