[Verse 1: Ali Tabatabaee]
What'cha gonna do when they come kicking down your front door?
Will you lay down, surrender like you did before?
Suffocating on the broken promises you can't ignore
The pressure's mounting, remember what you're fighting for
Lay down your arms, take your pill, sit still and obey
What's in the harm kill your will, find someone to betray

[Pre-Chorus: Ali Tabatabaee]
Lose control of your mind and soul in the modern day decay
The riot's starting, can the kids come out and play?

[Chorus: Matty Lewis]
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

[Post-Chorus: Matty Lewis]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2: Ali Tabatabaee]
Batten down the hatches, lock the windows 'cause they're breaking in
Out on the street, let me hear your battle hymn
Keep your finger on the trigger, notify your next of kin
Chance for survival, optimistically, is one in ten
Give up the fight, stand down and walk away
Like a dying light, once bright, now starting to grey

[Pre-Chorus: Ali Tabatabaee]
Did you lose control of your mind and soul in the modern day decay?
The riot's starting, can the kids come out and play?

[Chorus: Matty Lewis]
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

[Bridge: Ali Tabatabaee]
So laddie doddie, the system is shoddy
Just take your punches in bunches and go exploit somebody
So come on, lose control of your mind and soul in a modern day decay
The riot's starting, hey kids, come out and play

[Pre-Chorus: Matty Lewis]
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town

[Chorus: Matty Lewis]
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, 'cause we run this town
Whoa, set 'em up, knock 'em down
Light it up, we run this town
