Riot children march through the gates
It's our history we must make
Let's make it
Riot children raise up your fists
Let them know we don't take no shit
Loot it, take what's yours
Number 10 we're gunna kick through your door
Fuck your laws, fuck your law
You don't rule us

We watched the riots from our prams
We were young then some scrubby little tear aways
I never asked why police were beating down our people
I just knew that deep inside we weren't seen as equal
I saw the devil as child all police are evil
I've seen what happens when the power gets manipulated
We were racially abused by the other kids
Cos we were mud stained hippies wearing grubby kicks
Dirty pikey my mummy says your trouble
My daddy says you must have washed your face in a puddle ha ha
And what I'm proud of my heritage
I've learnt lessons in my life that you never will
My words my bond and blood runs deep
I'm as real as the company I keep
I've learnt that family is everything and more
Children of the riot raise your fist for the cause, come on

Riot children march through the gates
It's our history we must make
Let's make it
Riot children raise up your fists
Let them know we don't take no shit
Loot it, take what's yours
Number 10 we're gunna kick through your door
Fuck your laws, fuck your law
You don't rule us

Fuck the tax man buy a truck and live on the road
Fuck a tax plan I barely get the money I'm owed
Loot the brands
Loot the banks
Loot the corporations
Loop the loop
Loot the world
Now it's all for taking
Burn the money, burn the law book and torch the building
Grab your pitchforks we'll march to Buckingham Palace
Make the witch walk the plank on crocodile pond
It's monkey see monkey do in this world we live in
If you step out of line it's either death or prison
There's never been a breath of fresh air
Ever since we cut the forest down replaced it with a quarry town
Before the quarantine man I'm foreign bound
My friends keep leaving me the coroner keeps coming round
The reaper got the last now it's on me to buy another round
I've learnt that family is everything and more
Children of the riot raise your fist for the cause, come on

Riot children march through the gates
It's our history we must make
Let's make it
Riot children raise up your fists
Let them know we don't take no shit, nah
Loot it, take what's yours
Number 10 we're gunna kick through your door
Fuck your laws, fuck your law
You don't rule us

Raised by the fires of protest
The frontline battalion we battle with no rest
Children of the riot raise your fist with me
As we march through the gates this is our history
But it's only ours to make only ours to take
Riot children
Riot children
Children of the riot
Riot children
Riot children
Children of the riot
Riot children
