Rancid

Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike Green Day and The Offspring however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots. more »

I saw a man get the beat down
Took his money and his wallet left him dead on the ground
I saw them gather celebrate the crime
Teaching us the laughter another lesson of mankind
I raise my hand, I've got another question:
"If I start a riot, will I get protection? 
Cause I'm the kid whose got a lot of problems 
And if I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them."

Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot

I'm boiling up the city's on heat
Red alert tension you know it's on the street
Code blue city of the dead
Sirens in the night with the lights bloody red
See how we do this (hell yeah) see how we ride
Throw a brick light the fuse dodge a bullet duck inside
It's a statistic hammered on my brain
Branded with a number another pawn in the game

Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
In front of me the misery
Crying in line and dying burning debris
My face is burning...oh so quick...so quick
Like a candle at the end of its wick
Well, I turn the dial, I turn the channel
I turn into a monster fighting the eternal battle
I need some help and, there is no doubt
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody out

Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Riot!
