Lyrics
"Running Riot"
© 2012 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
Your world steals the best years of our lives
And the worst and every time between, and
You, you give us nothing in return
But the burning pain of every broken dream.
PRECHORUS I
You like to talk to about liberty,
But all you want is control;
And we bought stock in your hypocrisy,
But we're not buying in anymore.
CHORUS
There will be a retribution raining down,
There will be a revolution in this town.
We have made a resolution to not back down. No more!
You will feel the roll of thunder and the lightning strike,
We will take what we wanted, but we won't ask nice.
We will roll the running riot down your streets, tonight.
It's war!
VERSE II
This fight will be the best fight of our lives
And the first and the last we'll ever wage.
Tonight will be the last you'll ever lie;
Take it back or we're taking it away.
PRECHORUS II
You like to hide on the shadow side
But now, in the light, you're afraid.
We're all sold out of mercy, now;
Get ready for your judgment day.
CHORUS II
There will be a final reckoning for all you've done
We will all stand together, You will stand alone.
We roll this running riot on your mortal soul. It's over!
We will tear down the palaces you built to rule;
We don't care if it kills us, if it kills you too.
We will put the ever-loving fear of God in you, forever.
~ CHORUS ~
