White riot - I wanna riot 
White riot - a riot of my own 
White riot - I wanna riot 
White riot - a riot of my own 

Black people gotta lot a 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 
An' nobody wants 
To go to jail! 

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 

Everybody's doing 
Just what they're told to 
Nobody wants 
To go to jail! 

Are you taking over 
or are you taking orders? 
Are you going backwards 
Or are you going forwards?
