Riot in the city

Sirens wailing through the concrete wall Flares are burning,

watch the shadows fall

Running blind beneath the heavy haze Trying to find a shelter in

the blaze

There's a riot in my city tonight

(nowhere to run)

Trying to hide in the blinding light

(nowhere to hide)

There was a riot in my city

Trying to hide while the sirens scream

Caught in the crossfire of a broken dream

Yeah, we're hiding while they're shooting down the street

(run,

run)

Shots ring out against the cold steel door

Dust is falling on the basement floor

Holding breath until the sirens fade

In the ruins of the plans we made

There was a riot in my city

Trying to hide while the sirens scream

Caught in the crossfire of a broken dream

Yeah, we're hiding while they're shooting down the street

(no

escape)

Running through the smoke...

(we gotta hide) Just a riot in the city...
