Let's go.
Winds of change fanned into flames, student demonstrations sparred.
Down to Isle of Vista where police felt so harassed.
They called the special riot squad, the L.A. County Sheriff.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
Student demonstrations fire.
The violence spread down south to where Jackson State brothers
Learned not to say nasty things about southern policemen's mothers.
Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done.
The pen is madder than the sword, but no more sports guns.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.

Student demonstrations fire.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
There's a riot going on.
Student demonstrations fire.
There's a riot going on.

There's a riot going on.
The miracle was done on May 4th, 1970
When Rowley turned her right up against State University
They said the students scared the guard
Though the troops were battle-dressed
Four mothers were there in three degrees
A bachelor and a third
And they were all fed up with useless wars
And racial strife
But next time there's a riot, well, you best stay outside
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Stay away, but there's a riot going on
Stay away, but there's a riot going on
Stay away, but there's a riot going on
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you.
Next time has arrived, well, you best stay out of sight.
We're going to take a short intermission after this next song,
so you might even get up and dance on your way out for refreshments,
if you know what I mean.
If you know what I mean.
This is the 23rd day of a 23-day tour for us.
And here we are.
We spent about a week in the South,
in North Carolina, South Carolina.
Then we went up to the Midwest, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and we came over to the East.
We've done a lot of New York State.
And finally, home for Thanksgiving, right?
Yes.
Home.
Home away from home.
All right.
