Riot in The Mind

Riot in The Mind

written by: Christian Bass

There’s a riot in the mind and the street’s on fire,
time after time, they’ve behaved like they’re the last man;
day in, day out, the people got caught behind a wire
unsatisfied, we had to raise our own children!

Time after time, they’ve behaved like they’re the last man;
they were selfish instead of sharing their desire –
unsatisfied, we had to raise our own children,
but this brand new spirit will lift all of us higher!

They were selfish instead of sharing their desire,
they worked so hard to destroy what belong to all;
but this brand new spirit will lift all of us higher –
this old broken system really was meant to fall.

They worked so hard to destroy what belong to all,
day in, day out, the people got caught behind a wire;
this old broken system really was meant to fall –
there’s a riot in the mind and the street’s on fire!
