I WANNA RIOT - Rancid
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transcribed by: Danny Fear
I found that the version of this song already on OLGA to be completely
wrong (maybe I'm both crazy and stupid). Anyway this is a version that
I know works. I tabbed the first part, but then I got fed up with it. The
rest of the song uses either of the three chord "sets" that I tabbed in
the beginning.
Intro:
My way: (sounds good when you play alone)

LYRICS
I saw a man, get the beat dead
Took his money outta his wallet and fell dead on the curb
I saw them gather celebrate the crime
Teacher knows were bout to learn a lesson of their kind
I raised my hand, I got another question
If I start a riot, will I get protection?
Cause I'm the kid who got a lot of problems
If I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
I'm boiling up, city's on heat
Red alert tension, you know it's on the street
Code blue, city of the dead
Silence of the night with the lights bloody red
See how we do this, see how we ride
Throw a brick, light a fuse, it starts to blow, duck inside
Your statistic hammered on my brain
Brand it with another, another pawn in the game
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
In front of me the bakery
Gettin outta line, a dine in, burnin' burglary
My place is burning, burning so quick
Burning like a candle at the end of its wick
Phil, I turned the dial, I turned the channel
I turned it to a monster fight on the eternal battle
I need some help man, there is no doubt
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody out
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!
Riot!
