Riot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me go
‘Cause I can’t breathe
It’s not fair
Why you choking me?
[Pre-Chorus]
To think I put my trust in you
You pulled me down
No reason why
So what am I supposed to do?
You tied our hands
Let the people cry

[Chorus]
Oh, you started a riot
I’ll never be silent
Oh, excuse me if I get angry
It’s my right
Yeah, you started a riot tonight
Oh no
[Verse 2]
I can’t break
Can’t break these old chains
But if I’d only follow
I only have myself to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
To think I put my trust in you
You tied our hands
Let the people cry
[Chorus]
Oh, you started a riot
I’ll never be silent
Oh, excuse me if I get angry
It’s my right
Yeah, you started a riot tonight
You started a riot
I’ll never be silent
Oh, excuse me if I get angry
It’s my right
Yeah, you started a riot tonight
[Bridge]
No, I don’t want to live in vain
So please don’t try to hide my pain
Oh, the time is now
It’s time for a change
You tied our hands
Let the people cry
[Chorus]
Oh, you started a riot (You started a riot)
I’ll never be silent (I’ll never be silent)
Oh, excuse me if I get angry
It’s my right
Yeah, you started a riot tonight

[Outro]
You started a riot tonight (You started, you started)
You started a riot tonight (You started, you started)
You started a riot tonight (You started, you started)
Yeah, you started a riot tonight
