lyrics

was it the sun that was shining? maybe it was a star?
you know, maybe a movie queen, spilling out of a car?
it could have been a comet, or a plane crashing down...
it could have been an explosion, from the center of town.

Well i think...
i think there's gonna...
i think there's gonna be…
a riot!

well i couldn’t care less, it was ridiculous bright
i forced my hands into hard lumps, i was ready to fight
all at once pavement flowing, like a human tidal wave
Barreling towards me, like the end of days

Well i think...
i think there's gonna...
i think there's gonna be…
a riot!

bombs are going off and riot cops are spilling out
they’re coagulating in the bleeding streets
plastic shields throwing off reflections from the fire
oblivious to broken windows, broken limbs, and broken dreams
my vision’s doubled and my brain is throwing fits of laughter

was it the sky that was falling? possibly debris from above?
you know, maybe a building, helped by a massive shove?
it could have been an effigy, being torn all apart.
it could have been a bullet, that tore at my heart

Well i think...
i think there's gonna...
i think there's gonna be…
a riot!

Somehow, it worked. Well.

tGDM believed that massive amplification was ALWAYS the answer. ... more
