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 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, yeah They have no suspect, now those hound dogs follow me
Whiskey to water -- and water to wine Run for your life run for you 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 mowhere to hide You gotta fight to survive -- run for, run for your life
Now way (no way) did I commit this crime Now way am I about to die Now way (no way) can I forgive myself For the things I've never done
There's no way (no way) you're gonna make me pay No way (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 -- Yeah, come on, they say it's murder There's been a riot -- 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'll get me to come back alive
