Brixton

Brixton - Rancid

I saw a new generation coming

Under the smoke over Oakland

In and out the streets are breathing

Under the smoke over Oakland

Chaos disorder looting and loiter

From a blind man praying for some silence for some silence

Take a loot on the moon not a foot in the room

My best intentions always ended in a fight in a fight

You can send me to hell expose me I'll tell

Just take control and say what they're doing what they're doing

Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb

I saw a new generation coming

Under the smoke over Oakland

In and out the streets are breathing

Under the smoke over Oakland

Man it just don't seem right

You see

Every time I turn I around it's just the same story and it's like

It just don't seem right

And I wonder is it gonna end Hit it

Knocking down the doors slogans on the walls

One said fight back yea the system will fall

The police came out with tear gas and flames

Chaos in the city beating them at the game

Don't pay the poll tax the headlines read

Thirty cops beaten another one dead

The fight lasted on through the Brixton night

A thousand angry looters who knew they were right

I saw a new generation coming

Under the smoke over Oakland

In and out the streets are breathing

Under the smoke over Oakland

I saw a new generation coming

Under the smoke over Oakland

In and out the streets are breathing

Under the smoke over Oakland
