White Riot (Victoria Park, Hackney, London – Sunday 30 April 1978) Songtext
von The Clash

White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own

Black man gotta lotta problems
But they don′t mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick

An' everybody′s doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail

White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own


All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it

And everybody′s doing
Just what they′re told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail

White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own

Hey, you, standing in line
Are we gonna sign an agreement?

White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of my own
