Do You Remember The Riots?Do you remember the riots in GothenburgIn the summer of 2001? Boy, we sure had fun I held your hand so proud It was shaking from what I learned was doubt In the warm summer sun And I saw my face on a screen They filmed us from a helicopter The most frightened face I've seen Red in the face like a lobster Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg In the summer of 2001? Boy, we sure had fun Down the avenue The black, black crew are throwing rocks at the cop stand then everything stop They started a bonfire A couple of days prior I wanted to do that, too Burn down the avenue And I saw my face on a screen They filmed us from a helicopter The most frightened face I've seen Red in the face like a lobster And your hand slipped out of mine I couldn't see no love in your eyes I knew what I had to do Burn the avenue And I'm not a political fighter And I don't even have a cigarette lighter But I wanna see that fire I just wanna see that fire (Wanna see that fire) I just wanted to see that fire Burn down the avenue Do you remember the riots in Gothenburg In the summer of 2001? Boy, we sure had fun |
