Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Alright
[Verse 2]
There's been a riot
Down on main street tonight
They just went crazy
They set this whole damn town alight
[Verse 3]
Whisky to water
Turn water to wine
Run for your life, run for your life
There's been a riot
[Verse 4]
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
They got no suspect
Now those hound dogs follow me
[Verse 5]
Whisky to water
Turn 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
[Verse 6]
They've got an innocent boy for an innocent crime
They cut him down to the ground
When he didn't have nowhere to hide
You gotta fight to survive
Run for your life
[Verse 7]
No way (No way) did I commit this crime
No way am I about to die
No 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
[Verse 8]
There's been a riot
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'll get me to come back alive
