Student Demonstration Time

Starting out with Berkeley Free Speech

And later on at People's Park

The winds of change fanned into flames

Student demonstrations sparked

Down to Isla Vista where police felt so harassed

They called the special riot squad of the L. A. County Sheriff

Well there's a riot going on

There's a riot going on

There's a riot going on

Student demonstration time

The violence spread down South to where Jackson State brothers

Learned not to say nasty things about Southern policemen's mothers

Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done

The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun

Well there's a riot going on

Well there's a riot going on

Well there's a riot going on

'Cause it's student demonstration time

America was stunned on May 4, 1970

When rally turned to riot up at Kent State University

They said the students scared the Guard

Though the troops were battle dressed

Four martyrs earned a new degree

The Bachelor of Bulletsl

I know we're all fed up with useless wars and racial strife

But next time there's a riot, well, you best stay out of sight

Well there's a riot going on

Oh, there's a riot going on

Well there's a riot going on

Demonstration time

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) Student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) Student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) Student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) It's student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) Student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) A student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on) It's student demonstration

(Stay away when there's a riot going on)

Student demonstration, a student demonstration
