[Verse 1]
Another day inside a box beside the liquor shop
Where the music on the outpass play
I pour a bowl of Cheerios and turn on my stereo
And watch the people come and go away
And there's a girl out on the street
Ain't got no shoes upon her feet
And a man on the corner selling loose sneaks
Same shit, but you know what they say
Run from the man and you'll never get away
Bang bang

[Chorus]
Feel the tremble underneath my feet
See the smoke from my window
There's a riot on the downtown scene
We've seen this all before
Shots fired at the protest line
Sing for rights of the people
All the messages ain't clear this time, but
They'll be back tomorrow
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
[Verse 2]
So I jump in my ride
Flasking Henney by my side
And just nod my head to the beat
I see the same corner man
All shot up on the ground
Cause he dared defy the police
A fire engines dispurse
Parents crying and cursing
Nowhere is the God among men
I got a pocket full of napalm
You can run but you'll never get away
Bang bang

[Chorus]
Feel the tremble underneath my feet
See the smoke from my window
There's a riot on the downtown scene
We've seen this all before
Shots fired at the protest line
Sing for rights of the people
All the messages ain't clear this time, but
They'll be back tomorrow
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
[Bridge]
Oh, God only knows
God only knows
What they want from me
Oh, God only knows
God only knows
What they want from me
Oh, God only knows
God only knows
What they want from me
Oh, God only knows
God only knows
God only–God only knows

[Chorus]
Feel the tremble underneath my feet
See the smoke from my window
There's a riot on the downtown scene
We've seen this all before
Shots fired at the protest line
Sing for rights of the people
All the messages ain't clear this time, but
They'll be back tomorrow
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
Bang bang
